Welcome to the story of my family, and an amazing journey of a little boy who is struggling to make his body work. If you are not familiar with Alex's story, check out my first blog in June (2010)

Something New

I have to take a second to give Alex a hand.....Bravo baby!

Alex clapped for the first time today. All on his own. It was clumsy, it only happened a few times, but he clapped! I was going to attach the video to this thing so you guys can see it, but my blondeness couldn't figure it out. Oh well!

We were doing music therapy tonight. We work him out while he sits there and listens. This time my mom had him, and she was clapping his hands together. She let go, and he just kept going. Once I had the camera on him though, he got cold feet and couldn't perform. I am just super excited and had to share!

Another exciting Alex story will come to you on Saturday. Alex is having his first horse therapy session! He will get to be a big boy and ride a horse while go though a therapy routine. How cool is that. I am excited to see where this new road will take us!

Elle will get to go see her Tia and Uncle CB because the equestrian center is just a few miles from their house. She will get to impress them with her silly songs, crazy attitude, and passion for...yelling! She has kept me in stitches lately with her fairwells to her classmates. A sweet little Colby always yells at her when we leave saying "Hey, Elle." (Say that with some attitude...heeeeey Elllllee) When we turn around, she gives her an air kiss with her hand...Elle gives one back...then they run and hug each other. So dramatic! We do the same thing with Ava in the morning. Big hugs and run off hand in hand to the PE room. Silly girls!

Alex has a "girlfriend." A sweet girl named Macy has become his buddy. She feeds him, reads him books, holds his hand, and just loves on him. He has started to be part of the group more and more, and I frequently find him right in the middle of story time or sitting with someone playing with a car. Today he was sitting next to another little boy in a rocking chair. I think he is feeling more comfortable in his skin!

Just a little update on the twincident!
