Miley’s New Pool

All the Madison pee wee cheerleaders got to cheer with the high school cheerleaders at the varsity football game last night. Sarah was able to go down and cheer with our neighbors Jordan and Shelby. They helped her out with the cheers and she had a great time. Of course being the bad parents that we are, we remembered everything but the camera again (I am going to start wearing it around my neck). Some friends took pictures for us so we would have some. I am waiting for those and will post them when I get them. I should have the ones from the coin toss last week very soon too.

We all went to my nephews soccer game today. I was amazed how good Sarah is getting around walking. She is almost up to a normal pace. Her foot still turns a little bit, but she is working hard. The pictures below she has her cane, but we have been leaving it in the car when we go places. Sarah’s therapist has started some kind of shock therapy. It sounds a little harsh, but I don’t think it is that bad. Kim told me that it was just sending signal to the brain to help train it to do things properly. I know, it didn’t make sense to me either. They feel that it will be more beneficial than aqua therapy for now, so her time in the pool will be suspended for a while.

We bought Miley a little pool today. She seems to like water since she always tries to swim in her water bowl. At first she just thought it was just a huge water bowl and was drinking out of it, but she soon warmed up to it (or cooled down with it). Oh….and Ava like it too. 

Trying to talk Miley in to getting in the pool

Ava shows her how to do it

Ava says “forget Miley, this is fun”

Miley starts to get interested

Can’t think of anything clever for this picture
