Christmas Program

This is a video clip of Gracie's Christmas program at her school. It's a little unsteady but you can still see her with her classmates. She was actually shy on stage. That surprised us!

"Walking Beauty"

I just love the smiles in this recent video! Gracie is walking with her crutches in the hallway at home. We are all viewing the Christmas break as a time to devote to serious progress on Gracie's crutches. Fear of falling has been the hurdle with this skill. However, her confidence is slowly growing. I haven't seen it but her therapist has even persuaded her to walk with one crutch some during therapy!

Doing the Dishes

Gracie loves to help in the kitchen. So, to make this more possible, Doug ordered her The Learning Tower. It's an adaptive stool. She feels very safe because she is surrounded by wood. Take a look at this video.

Christmas Cookie Party




Gracie's class had a Christmas party where all of the kids decorated and ate sugar cookies. She enjoyed the party and certainly the cookies!
