"Aqua Man"

Sammy had his second aquatic therapy session with his OT tonight at the Girls' Club. Man, he LOVES the water! We have to make him get out because his lips start to turn blue after about an hour or so, the length of the class, and then he still cries! We are still working on figuring out the flotation situation, so he tries everything inflatable that they have, including stuff that Susan brings herself to help him hold up his head so he doesn't drink the pool water! :P

He looks funny with all of the floaties, but he loves it anyway! He really gets a good full stretch in his legs when he "swims" (kicks) in the water, so it's so good for his muscles. (Besides, what else can you do with him for a full hour that he doesn't start crying through?? ) His OT can only join us at the swim time once a month because she has twin girls who are a little over a year old and she can't leave them more than that, i guess. We ordered him a new floaty device for special needs kids, and it's on its way, so hopefully we'll have it for next Thursday when it's just Brian and I on our own with him.

Luke also got to swim tonight and had a good time. There are the lifeguard's 2 little girls there, too, about his age, so he swam in the deep end with them for the session. And so it begins... hee,hee.... ;)

I am going to see if I can post a video on here, too, if it'll let me...
