| 6th birthday |
On his birthday he had a special pass and and went on a road trip with Mommy. They shopped for party favors, snacks and he got his very own CD player. He was never so excited to go to K-Mart and Stop n' Shop in his life.
Last night he did a field trip with 4 other kids from CSH to the Halloween store in the pouring rain. Imagine 5 kids in wheelchairs piling into a van. It took about an hour to load everyone and the store was only 5 miles away. Mommy followed in her car. They shopped for about 45 minutes and he picked out a Ninja costume for Halloween. It didn't take as long to get back. It was amazing that such a young girl was driving the bus and in charge.
It's been a busy week for Aidan, here is a list of some of his accomplishments:
- He used the parallel bars and walked about 30 feet in total
- He has been using a walker and has continued to log some distance on that
- He stepped down to a manual wheelchair vs. the electric one and now wheels himself around
- He's putting on his own sneakers
- Standing in pool
- Tossing rings and then diving for them
- Played T-ball with the walker - swung at the ball with some assistance
- Played soccer - was able to kick the ball.
- Pulled himself from the bed to the wheelchair
- Pulled himself from the floor into a chair
- Started school this week and started writing - he wrote his name and today wrote his spelling words
He continues to be one of the most competitive kids in Recreational Therapy and takes great pride in beating his therapist Katie. Mom helps Aidan out by moving Katie's cones farther away so Aidan can beat her and continue to feel victorious.
Tuesday the NY Giants came in to visit and Aidan got autographs and pictures.
