NOVEMBER FIRST IS THE DAY!!!

 THIS BOY DECIDED ON THE FIRST DAY OF NOVEMBER THAT HE WAS GOING TO WALK AND THAT HE DID… 100 STEPS CONSECUTIVELY TO BE EXACT!

WHEN I STARTED WITH HIM THREE YEARS AGO HE WAS USING A WALKER WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A GAIT BELT FOR STABILITY. HE WOULD GO ABOUT 10-20 STEPS AT A TIME AND TAKE A BREAK. SO YOU CAN IMAGINE MY SURPRISE WHEN WE WERE WALKING IN THE HALLWAY AND HE LET GO OF MY HAND AND STARTED WALKING ON HIS OWN! WE ARE SO VERY PROUD OF HIM AND BELIEVE THAT HE GETS WHAT HE IS DOING BECAUSE WHEN HE STOPS/NEEDS A BREAK, HE WILL SIGN “MORE” AND CONTINUE TO WALK.
