Pirate Hunting jacket!

 Every week at Physio we put on Nick's special jacket and go pirate hunting!!

We started 2 months ago with the hardness, just at the end of our last physio block to get him used to being upright and hands-free.

 

Look at those super-fast feet!

 

 

We are always trying to do something fun, and pirate hunting has just stuck!

 (Sorry for the background noise - the treadmill was really loud today)

 

We spent the whole session walking on the treadmill, kicking balls back and forth and just moving, moving, moving.

He is getting much better control.
He can actually move himself around the room without additional help

And he likes it!
There is a part in this video where he reaches and says "I can't get it". I couldn't helpful myself by saying "Use the force". I just couldn't help it.

And of course he loves that both the kids could hold hands and walk.

This PT session was a bit crowded. School was still out and we had a dinner date afterwards so the whole family was there.

A little pixie dust

We were surprised at physio today that a harness (a super-hero suit) for Nick, and other preschool kids, had arrived, and Nickolas got to be the first one to try it out!

 

 

It got to hook to a cool contraption that could go up and down and help to hold Nick so he could walk without using his arms. It didn't take much coaxing to get him started

 

 



And then we got to do the fun work!

Treadmill.

We were treasure hunting like pirates!

Nick walked faster and then we went 'up the hill' to hunt for some treasure

We must have found some, because Nick got to carry all the treasure down.
(And strangely with his hands full he couldn't hold onto the sides of the treadmill)
Sneaky

Nickolas thought this was great, he didn't think he was working at all!
How fun is it to hunt for treasure and stomp, stomp, stomp

Walking back Nick found that he could lift his feet up and still stay upright!
 And for the title of the post - Pixie dust away!!
