This past week was a week of a few firsts for our family. Vinny had two PT/OT appointments this week that went extremely well. This is definitely a first for him. We decided that I would not be apart of the appointments in hopes to get him to cooperate more. Well, it worked and I couldn't be more pleased......and I get an hour to myself!!!!!!
Jake had a few firsts too this week. He started swimming lessons on Tuesday. He was a bit scared to get into the water, so Tony had to hold him most of the time. I'm hoping that as he goes more he will get a little better. But regardless, he had a good time...which is all that matters to me! Vinny also had a good time. We sat by the pool and he screeched his happy little screech the whole time. He loved seeing all the other kids and the splashing water.

On Friday Jake also started soccer. We signed him up for U4 through the YMCA. He did AWESOME!!!.....which really was no surprise to us because he has had a soccer ball at his feet since he started walking. It was so cute to see him amongst other kids doing what he does best. And, of course, what is a soccer practice/game without the rain. It started raining about 20min in, which Jake thought was so cool too. Tony and I enjoyed watching him so much and I can officially say that I am a soccer mom!!!

Another first for our entire family was having family photos taken. One of Tony's customers invited us over to her house so that she could take our family photos. We took them outside in her beautiful backyard. The kids did great. I have one of the photos from her, but she took over 200 images and will be mailing them to me on Monday. I can't wait to see them. I plan on finally doing a photo wall to showcase my awesome family!

How exciting that you not being there for the therapy worked!! I know you were very concerned about it and you found the trick! So happy for you about that!
