Stevie Fan Club {Stevie Stands Up!}

It’s been a busy week for mister Stephen.

He started swim class, which he hates.  So naturally, I signed him up for 4 more classes.

He chipped a tooth.  Hit his noggin on the corner of a chair and I didn’t even notice the tooth until like 8 hours later. He’ll lose that one anyway, so I ain’t sweatin’ it too much.

He had his first Occupational Therapy. It went great. I think she and I are really on the same page about Stevie’s goals and what we need to work on.

He started using a walker.  The first time we strapped him in it, he screamed for the whole half hour that we used it.  Like screamed.  Snot, tears, choking… drama.  The 2nd time, he used it for a good 5-10 minutes, not so much as a whine. We’ll just call that an improvement. The walker is on loan to us through his Physical Therapist.  And we’ve been instructed to use it daily, so we are.

He stood himself up for the first time!  He’s been trying for a couple days, but usually ended up back on his butt right away.  Couldn’t get those legs straight.  But he finally did it!!  Video Disclaimer: I scream. Make sure your volume isn’t all the way up for this.

I almost didn’t post the vid because my voice is so high and annoying, but I figured you guys would want to celebrate with me.  I was genuinely just so super excited!! Happy dance time!
