Rocky road...no wait....Smooth Sailing!

John woke up kinda cranky this morning, but sat on the bed unassisted and played and was even able to reach way out to get stuff and bring himself back upright on his own a half dozen times or so. But by the time that breakfast came around he ate just enough blueberries that when he threw up it stained everything it touched. We thought we were headed for a rocky day and were holding our breath. But after his nap he was feeling much better and in a much better mood too.

When Shawna, his physical therapist came he was so excited to put on his shoes and go outside and get in his gate trainer. He pushed himself, with his feet, all the way down the street in front of our house and onto the next block and back, okay we live on the corner but still this was the farthest he's ever gone without having to be pulled. He did great and had a huge smile on for most of the trip. From time to time Shawna would have him stand up, he tends to ride in the seat and push with his legs, and he stood up every time. Even after we got him in the house he was still pushing himself around and having a great time. At one point he was pulling his hands away from her playing a game and cracked himself up so much that he was giggling loud enough I could hear him all the way across the room. What a great time and such a hard working little boy today.

After Shawna left John decided that he was too tired to play more but was too awake to be stuck in bed so he sat on my lap for a while and then fell asleep. We don't get to do this much anymore so I really enjoyed just getting to hold him for a while as he slept waiting on dad to come home.

When dad came home we went to get labs. The CO2 is up to 18.2 and all the other lab numbers are good so we are doing great, great, great. After getting home we told dad goodbye again and John and I sat on the floor and read books for a while. The dogs came over to play a bit too and even let John pet them, then Lucy got close enough that he gave her a big hug and a huge open mouthed toddler-kiss. Yuck! But they both were happy about it, well John was happy and Lucy was okay. After that he was ready for bed. He is now sleeping peacefully and relaxed, stretched all the way out in his bed, he sure is starting to fill up that crib.
