Summer has discovered how to pick small things up with her casted hand. She has also figured out how to drink juice from a sippy cup with no hands at all.
We had a great weekend. It started out snowy and cold, and now, as I look out at the calm bay, it is about 14 degrees, sunny, water sparkling. Summer enjoyed her dance class on Saturday and her fatigue from the week kicked in during the afternoon so the rest of the afternoon was pretty quiet. We watched a movie - Franklin's Turtle Lake - again... She was early to bed with no fuss. Maybe there is something to this cast?
Sunday could not be more different - all around. We awoke to a sunny crisp morning. We took a stroll down our road in the morning to visit with Barb & Vera. We played catch with a small soccer ball. Perfect size for Summer to grasp and throw.
Summer's walking continues to improve. Since receiving Botox in her right calf muscle 10 days ago, she is lifting that foot while walking very well. Typically, she tends to scuff the bottom of her right toe, or if she is going to trip, that will be the foot... But this morning I really noticed an improvement.
While we were out visiting Don launched the boat. Almost a record early year. Our neighbour Gerry had his boat in first... But we beat him to the water a few weeks ago in our canoe!
We packed a picnic lunch and tried to find a bay on the lake that was out of the wind. No luck there, but managed to find marginal shelter in order to eat lunch. We picked up a few beaver sticks and headed back to our beach.
Summer ran around on our deck for a bit then we headed out for a walk. Summer decided to ride in the stroller so we did a short 4km walk down the next lane and back.
We finished up the afternoon playing some T-ball in the yard. Summer and Don played ball, I pulled some weeds.
I think we will all be early to bed... after one more viewing of Franklin's Turtle Lake....
