Madison had a very active day that started with a trip to Home Depot. Today was the first time we brought Madison’s walker out in the community to use in a store. She did a fantastic job walking up and down the aisles helping Dada find light bulbs. It was harder then I thought seeing peoples reactions. They were giving the usual “she’s so cute” look but also looks of feeling sorry for her which is always hard to see. Taking her out in her walker and not just her stroller is something we have to start doing more often to help her build endurance, confidence and independence. She took some great steps forward today and her Mama and Dada did too.
This afternoon Madison started back at March of Dimes for her conductive education class. She worked on lots of side stepping and walking. It’s so encouraging to see how strong she is getting. The best part of the day was when her conductor did an exercise with her for Madison to try and stand independently….and she did it for 1 second!!!! She’s back at March of Dimes Thursday and Friday this week so maybe she will do it for 2 seconds!!!
Madi certainly worked her butt off today and is now passed out in bed.
