Spring Break

Our Spring Break begins today. We have prepared Gracie for a big step... She is putting her walker away over the break. She will be solely using her crutches, pink of course! She has used her crutches for a long time. However, we've allowed her to use the walker, too. She has gained confidence and no longer requires someone to be close beside her when she walks with them. However, she is still fearful and a bit slow. For this reason, she will go back to using her walker primarily at school after Spring Break. We will use the crutches at home.
Because she wanted to (this is huge for her), she used her crutches to walk to her classroom this morning. She took about 300 steps on them. It took us 20 minutes because her classroom is a good distance from the front door. She was commended the whole way! Everyone stopped to congratulate her which caused her to smile the whole way. It was fun to watch her be that proud of herself!
Wish us luck!
