Adventures in Physical Therapy

Today was an amazing day, Jamison did so many new things during Physical Therapy!!

First off, when we got there he ran for the stairs. He usually cries the whole time when we take him to the stairs, but today he was fixed on going up and down them. First, he went up and spun at the top, then all of a sudden he decided to go up again, but not just up, he wanted to walk up like a big boy! He alternated his steps all the way up several times!! This takes strength and stability which he had a lot of! He was a regular superman!

Then he decided he wanted to tackle the bowling pins, he kicked them over so easily, like he'd been doing it for years, only he's only ever actually kicked them over 1 time purposefully! He must have kicked them over at least 50 times!! It was so amazing to watch.

He crawled for his favorite train under a bench that the therapist had set up, which he hates to do... and he also got on the toddler trampoline and marched as fast as he could in place. He doesn't really understand how to jump yet, or physically have the strength yet, but he does know your feet have to go up and down and he was amazing at it!

Basically, it was an awesome day for him, filled with so many fun and new exciting things...
