Nevets has been showing some serious progress in physical therapy. We have been working on a few things like his balance, jumping, and high-stepping (picking up his feet). Today he made his way through an obstacle course doing all that but jumping. There was a huge pile of toys-turtles, monkeys, and pigs. All of which he loves. He had to pick up a toy and then climb up some stairs and climb down. He then had to step over (high stepping) a row of swim noodles without touching the noodles or he had to start over. After he made it over the noodles, he had to walk over to a basket and deposit his toy. He then had to make his way back to the pile of toys, via all the stuff he had just done. He did this about 12 times. After all that he still had energy to jump. So his therapist, Dawn, incorporated some jumping activities towards the end.

Dawn was very pleased with the progress. Every time we go, he shows improvement. We see her every 2 weeks. She works him hard and doesn't let him get away with "cheating." I'm so excited!
