Ponytail Power


Ponytail Power in full force

Speed demon
She is off to the races with Przemek

...and she officially wore Przemek out!!!

OK, so we don't know what to contribute the greatness that took place today in Przemek's gym except the magic of the ponytails. Josie has insisted on wearing her ponytails ever since her Chickadee performance. She loves the way they bounce and look. Today she came leaping into the gym to show Przemek and Sylwia. She was in such a great mood. She worked really hard during her weights. As soon as Przemek put her on her canes she just clicked with it. Holly always says that you can never count anything out with this method because you just never know when it is going to click. Today it clicked. From the moment she got on her canes it just all worked. She was so balanced, she hardly ever fell to the point that she couldn't recover it herself and her legs were so strong. I will post video on the bottom. Her red canes that we are back to really seem to help. Przemek and Sylwia's hard work is finally bearing fruit. Josie was so pleased with herself she wanted to keep walking. It must have felt great to her as well. She also did incredible standing. Consistently in the 20's and a few in the 30's. She is making serious strides in this department as well. Grandma got to see all of this today. Josie was proud to show off.

Sadly, we had to take Grandma and Grandpa to the airport tonight. We loved having them here and will miss them. We get to see them in 2 weeks. We have officially made it through the longest stretch without seeing of CA family. I'll tell you time has just flown by. We need all the time we can get here working so hopefully it will slow down a bit. Night, Jenny and Josie

I wish you could all see her smile on her face the whole time she was walking. Amazing to see her glow. The first video is more of her warm up. The second one is where she really picks up speed.

  1. Hi guys! Just got back from our vacation and I'm trying to get caught up on watching all the videos...I love the end of the first one! I know the face that Przemek made...I've been there myself! =] Great walking in the second one!!! I like that her step size has lessened on the right and increased on the left...making her more balanced on the two sides. She's doing a better job with cane placement...now the trick is going to be...getting her to do it with her head up! I also loved that she was smiling/laughing and didn't fall down! You go girl!!!
