More Therapy

In November, Jonathan started riding lessons. I am calling them riding lessons instead of hippotherapy (therapeutic horseback riding) because this facility does not have licensed therapists on staff, but routinely work with kiddos that benefit from horseback riding. Our goal is to strengthen his trunk and neck muscles, both of which will help him with his balance in turn helping with walking. So far he really enjoys it...he looks so small there though :)




Of course...Jenny got to try one out too. No scheduled riding lessons for her though...
swim and jazz is plenty for our week :)

Halloween

This Halloween, Jenny wanted to be Jessie from Toy Story & Jonathan would be Woody. Well...I learned a lesson this year. ALWAYS try the costume on BEFORE an hour prior to needing to be somewhere. Turns out the Jessie costume was way too big and was just frumpy and brought LOTS of tears. We pulled out a dress up outfit in hopes of a quick change, no luck. Then suggested her hula costume that she got a birthday party, no luck again. suggested that she wear a white shirt and a tie and she could be Daddy...no luck. Finally, I dug out my finisher medal from last year's 1/2 marathon, found the bib and shoe ID and bingo, we had a marathon runner. She was so excited. Next time, I'll rummage through the house first :)






I'm done...lets go home!
