Grace and Basketball

Grace likes going to Briar Cliff's basketball games, but unfortunately, she's not really into the basketball. She is, however, into the dancers and cheerleaders. And playing her dollies in the bleachers. And driving her Standing Dani around the second level balcony.

The next session of her "Taps" class starts next week, and she'll be excited about that. Taps is a once-a-week hour long music class, and Grace really likes it.

The RAGBRAI route was announced recently, and we'll talk with Beth about plans for that and our goal to raise some money for SMA research.

Good Week

Grace had a good week this past week. She's getting better and better at driving her Dani. She met with both her AEA therapists and her water therapist. We're looking into vehicle ramps and options to make our home more accommodating to her new equipment. We want her to be able to access as many of her toys from her Dani as possible, so we're looking at shelve and table options.

Getting Acquainted

Grace is getting used to navigating her Standing Dani around our house. Her favorite games are "Hide the Horsies" or "Hide the Seashells". To play this game, you hide her horsies or her seashells around the house, and she drives her Dani around to find them. She loves it, and it's been a good way for her to work at her driving ability. Our doors, walls, and furniture will have a lot of scratches and marks on them, but it'll be worth it. Otherwise things are back to normal for Grace after the Christmas season. She resumed her water therapy last week, and our family's next project is to get a van and ramp to allow us to haul the Dani around.
