Blog Changes

I don't update this blog nearly as much as I would like to and that is typically because I get busy and forget to.  I update Junior's regular blog nearly daily but have been trying to decide what to do with this blog.  I decided to  move it to FaceBook where it will be easier to post pics and do quick updates.  I think I will keep up with it much better there.  Click Here for the fb page and request an add.  Please comment on this post or message me on FB and let me know who you are if you aren't already on my personal FB list so I will be sure to add you to Junior's new ipad page.

Another Month Goes By

Wow, I have let another month pass since the last post on this blog.  Kind of thinking it may be time to just combine this one with Junior's regular blog.  I will think it over and see if I can remember to post here the next couple months. 

Junior's ipad may be primarily for communication but it also gets used for fun.  At his recent Shriners appointment I hooked it to his chair and he stayed entertained the entire time(this is a 3+ hours appt).

Junior and Abby were playing with his bells a few weeks ago and we decided to leave them on his wrist and encourage him to ring them when he needed us.  It didn't take him long at all to realize that making the bells ring got him attention and he thinks it is quite cool.  He has very little movement in his arms but works very hard to make those bells ring.

School started for our local schools a few weeks ago but we are waiting until the day after Labor Day to really get going.  Everything is ready, his curriculum is all set up and we are excited to get started.  I will be sure to share some of our activities that include the ipad.  Be sure to visit his regular blog to keep up with his journey.
