At therapy today, Sylwia decided that Josie was ready to learn to walk outside with uneven surfaces and different obstacles. Apparently, (I wasn't there to witness this moment) Josie was terrified to go out. She kept telling Sylwia to lock the door and that she wouldn't go. This behavior is not typical of Josie right now. She was even telling Sylwia that she was so scared. Somehow Sylwia got her outside. Guess what...she walked just as well outside as she did in. She was so proud that she overcame her fear and that she could actually do it. She even went down a small step. When I was taking pictures she started chasing her own shadow. She kept saying, "Look I am going to get my shadow." She was so mesmerized by her shadow. It is amazing to see the things that she sees for the first time. We take for granted the simple things in life like our shadows. None of us probably even noticed ours today. It is certainly exciting to see the remarkable progress she is making right now. Jenny and Josie
