This morning was Madison’s first day at her new school. She is going various days over the next two weeks for orientation sessions to get use to the daily schedule, new teachers, new surroundings and new friends. She did a great job – we were so proud of her! She listened well, participated, played well with others and tried everything.
Here are some pictures from her first day:

This afternoon Madison headed back to Grandview for a physio session. One of the skills they worked on today was learning how to fall without hitting her head. When Madison is sitting or kneeling she knows how to stop herself from hitting her head when falling over. When she is standing tall she still is hitting the back of her head on the ground.
Madison also received an amazing gift today. Our talented neighbour Pam made Madison a special bag for her walker. Madison’s OT recommended that we put something on her walker for her toys to go in. Madison has been more concerned with holding her toys in her hands then holding her walker. Now she has a place to carry her toys as she uses her hands on the walker. Not only is is extremly functional – it’s beautiful! Thank you Pam! Madison loves it!
