Lazy Sunday

Jake thoroughly enjoyed his day off today. For some reason he chose not to sleep in and woke up at 5, but his Dad was awake too, so they just started their day a bit early. He and Todd had an early breakfast, sat outside for awhile and took a nice long walk.  

As I've mentioned, he has been missing all the normal summer fun and while there are a lot of things we can't bring to him, we thought of one we could. Water balloons. The boys had a great time, including Dad, who was the target of choice. It was so nice to see all of them forgot about things for a little bit and just have fun. Jake and Luke were conspiring about how to best get Dad and after many missed balloons, Luke just took the giant sprayer and attacked. Todd got him back but I think he ended up being the most wet. :-) We also got to enjoy some great music as part of the Sunday concerts at the hospital and this one was out on the patio. Really great afternoon.

Jake got to spend some time with visitors today which he always likes. He really enjoys showing his latest skill/advancement to anyone who is here. He gets the cutest grin when standing for someone for the first time. His left grip is getting really strong and he is getting more and more stable with his assisted walking. His therapists have some big goals for him and we are excited to see what this week brings!
