Now I Can -- 2011

A new year!

And Porter is benefitting greatly from Now I Can therapy again...

While Porter is working hard, the girls play hard in the kid's room

(while Mommy watches through the tinted window)

Sometimes, Mommy gets to be out there encouraging Porter and learning lots of great tips

(but it's usually more of a distraction because Porter likes to 'show-off' instead of working so hard!)

:)

Look at that 'cheeeese'!

(he was crying just seconds before -- so I pulled out the camera..

instant 'ham')

Porter is easily distracted with cars and planes!

(and sometimes they are very useful for exercises --

when Porter lifts his hips off the floor while his knees are bent,

we push cars under and he laughs!)

Sometimes it's hard to keep distracted from tight muscles while stretching.

So, Mommy shared her glasses.

Step over, step up, step over -- 'high five!'

Porter's always such a big helper when it's clean up time.

"Testing the Water"

Going up the stairs - using just righty.

It's kind of funny how we take for granted things that are easy for us...

and hard for others.

Such great progress!

Now it's time to apply it at home...
