Busy Bee

Wow! Monday was busy, busy, busy!

8:30am: Drop Evelyn off at Millikin University for Summer Sings Choir Camp
10:00am-10:30am: Take Jackson to Physical Therapy at Decatur Memorial Hospital (I'VE GOT A VIDEO!!!)
12:00pm: Pick Evelyn up from Choir Camp
2:30pm-3:15pm: Take Jackson to Speech Therapy at Decatur Memorial Hospital (Jack likes Speech!)
5:45pm-6:20pm: Take Evelyn to swimming lessons at the Park District pool

We also had to remember to feed Jack at 8:00am, 12:00pm, and 4:00pm, as well as give everyone else breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

Oddly enough, I function best when chaos is involved.

As you watch the video, I hope it works!, notice Jack's shorts! I was waiting for them to fall off! They never did...

Swimming

Ok. I have finally come to terms with the fact that jack will not be able to take swimming lessons because he can't do the tasks the class requires.
However, after 10 minutes of horrible, loud, our neighbors probably thought about calling the cops, screaming...jack played in our baby pool for about 3 minutes!

Whoa!

Jack had his first Physical Therapy session yesterday! Boy do I wish I taped it! Jack walked on a tread mill with minimal support (Jack held onto the side rails and the therapist held Jack's hips for safety) and worked on standing and sitting,  also with minimal support! So proud of him!

After therapy and special needs playgroup, we went out to lunch. Jack sampled Pepsi droplets from a straw. He loved it! Today, we gave him Cherry Coke and Cream Soda, both in sippy cups. He tasted from the cup both times, many many times! Tasting didn't involve actually drinking from the sippy, but rather dabbing drops of liquid in his mouth.
