Therapy Notes

We are SO excited to announce Samuel's latest accomplishment...

WALKING!  Using a small walker for balance, Samuel has reached a new level of independence.  We are so thrilled, as most of us didn't even know he had the potential to walk!  Can you believe this little guy?  Isn't he such an inspiration?!  We're also super-impressed by our therapy team who work with him every day and celebrates each milestone he reaches.

And in slightly less inspirational but downright funny news, we have another funny story about Joshua's therapy.  Remember reading about him claiming a heart condition to get out of therapy?  Well this week, he tried another angle.  Last week, a group of visitors from Beijing brought hamburgers from McDonald's and sandwiches from Subway for all the children to enjoy.

Evidently Joshua was a fan.

Because the other day in therapy, his therapist waited at the top of the stairs and said, "Come on up, Joshua!  I have some cookies for you when you get here!"

Without missing a beat, Joshua retorted: "Do you have McDonald's?"

This isn't related to therapy, but it's a funny McDonald's story.  Robert and Ethan particularly enjoyed their McDonald's lunch... so much so that upon finishing their hamburgers, they noticed a few leftovers still in the box.  They ran up to their nanny and asked her to put some in the refrigerator for the two of them to eat later!
