Getting ready to leave with her hat and scarf. Josie was so excited she walked to the front door and waited for the Egers to come over(she only waited there for 5 minutes)

Josie, Reggie and Oliver on Saturday night

Walking outside on Friday

We finished therapy last week with a strong Friday. Josie walked all over the gym and even asked to walk outside. She is just having so much fun with her walking. She also stood really well. She had one 50 a few 40s and 30s. She is just getting so consistent with this. Now it is onto the independent steps. It will probably take us the same amount of time to learn this and to become proficient in it as it did the canes. One foot in front of the other...literally.

When we got home Friday, she walked in the house to the kitchen. When it was time to walk to her bedroom for bed, she started to sing this song that went something like this..."I love to walk. I am walking. I love Michigan because I learned to walk with Przemek and Sylwia." and the song went on and on. It was the first time that I think she allowed herself to be truly proud of what she has accomplished.

Last night we got to have dinner at the Livingston's on a cold and rainy Michigan night. Reggie was in his funny mood and was completely entertaining us. He and Josie were playing drums, crawling around the room and acting crazy. Oliver built them a fort and made them popcorn. Fun to be with them.

Today, we went to Blake's Cidermill with Lory, Madison and Grady Eger. It was cold and a little rainy when we were leaving. When we got there, we actually had decent weather. We picked and tasted so many apples. We also picked pumpkins. We had cider, donuts and headed home. Great day at the apple orchard.

We are getting ready for one more week and then a week break in Palm Desert with the family. Hope everyone had a great weekend. Jenny and Josie
