Since Laura is still away in Africa, Gracie saw Mandy today for water therapy. She knows Mandy and has always enjoyed cutting up with her, but it was still great to see Gracie perform well for her. Gracie entertained Mandy and a couple of other therapists with her standup jokes in the water. She also walked up and down the platform in the water several times. When Mandy had Gracie hold a toy behind her back she was able to walk several steps on the platform without assistance. This is always the case with Gracie. If you get her to lean forward even in the slightest way, her balance improves. However, it scares her to lean forward so you have to do it without her realizing it, like having her hold a toy behind her back. We see this with her walking also when she pretends to have the crutches. Her balance is improved and she takes more steps. As soon as she gets scared, she pops her arms up and loses her balance.
