Snow day! Week 9

The winter wonderland came a day late, but boy was it a big one! Caden and I enjoyed watching the wind whirl the snow around outside the windows all day and into the night. The therapists brought a little of the snow in for Caden to play with, and fortunately big brother Conlan was on hand for an impromptu snowball fight :)

Caden had a busy week: there was lots of pool time on the schedule, and one of the therapists who has not worked with him for awhile noted how much stronger he has gotten; he did some walking with the casts on between parallel bars; then on came the shoes for some practice in a walker. The walker was a little scary at first, but by the end of the week Caden was much more confident. Now homework is two laps in the walker around the floor!

As previously noted, Santa was very good to all of the children here, but it appears Santa also brought Caden his voice. The rare single word was exchanged for multiple words on Christmas Eve and he is now coming out with big sentences. It is difficult to understand everything - unless, as one of his brothers said, you speak Caden - but we know practice makes perfect and it is fun to hear what he has to say.
