All that you see in the picture...disassembled..."Mr. Incredible" did himself! 
*favorite toy...from "Great Aunty Liz" ...yep...shoes!
st buckled Jocelyn in...and was about to throw Brody into his seat...Mike had forgotten something so he went back into the church a few minutes earlier. Just then Brody yelled "there's Daddy!" I thought...wow...he made it back quick! I looked around...but couldn't see him anywhere. "Where's Daddy?" I said very confused! "There!" he said...pointing to a particular spot in the parking lot. I looked to where he was pointing and realized he'd been looking at a blue handicap picture posted above a parking stall (didn't see that one coming)! He was so proud of himself for spotting it! Mike got a pretty good chuckle when we told him we saw his picture! According to Brody...there are pictures of Daddy all over the place...on stickers...bill boards...government signs and parking spots!
There's not a lot of people who get to be in all those pictures! Yep...a Superstar!
Don't ever swallow your bubble gum! I think Mike has been doing physical therapy at Neuroworx now for over 2 months. When we sit back and think about the progress that has been made in those two months we are just amazed!
He is still going three times a week...and I go one of those three times each week! I love seeing his progress...every time he has improved on something. A trainer commented the last time we were there that he was enjoyable two work with (not only because of his winning personality)because he pushes himself. The environment is awesome! Everyone is there pushing for improvement...and nobody dwells on the negatives...Mike included! I'm so glad I can still go once a week...thanks to mine and Mike's wonderful mothers who babysit Brody (he's gone a few times..but he has more fun at grandma's house)! Jocelyn comes with...because she hardly makes a peep when there...and everyone would have a conniption if I showed up without her. She is quite loved by all...they'd know Jocelyn's name before my own! Yeah she's a star...no surprise...she takes after her brother and Daddy!
You may want to pause the blog music...otherwise you'll be quite frustrated hearing a combination of con jumbled music! In this movie he is working his legs...he's the one lifting them...with his muscles...not the trainers...they're just stabilizing his legs...that's great progress...I hope that made sense!
Bouncing off the walls crazy, Brody was extra hyper! Every little thing in his bedtime preparation was like a bear wrestling match ...litterally...he was roaring at me! Finally, it came time for him to lay down and calm down. This seemed to be an impossible request...he could not stop jabbering...about his friends...dinner...dad...Jocelyn...and toys. After several minutes of trying to get him to stop talking and close his eyes..."Brody" I said, quite sternly..."IT IS TIME TO GO TO SLEEP...NO MORE TALKING?" Holding his hand up to his forehead, he looked at me with a little grin on his face and mumbled something in his two year old voice. (I couldn't believe he had the nerve to say something after I had told him to stop talking)! "WHAT DID YOU SAY?" I was very frustrated. He put his hand to his forehead...giggling...he said it again...but I still couldn't understand him ..."WHAT BRODY!" I was now very perturbed. He threw his hand up to his forehead with much more clarity in his voice and said "YES CAPTAIN!" Whoops...I couldn't help but burst into laughter...which got him laughing and we had to start the whole evening over again...but It was so worth it! He couldn't stop saying "Yes Captain" for the rest of the night! He must have learned from a game we'd played weeks prior...I didn't think he'd caught anything in that game...but apparently not so! To his credit...he eventually stopped talking and fell fast asleep. I sure love that kid...even if he does make me feel like a Drill Sargent!
Saturday, August 30, 2008 Mike played on the floor with the kids...on his belly...first time! Something...at the beginning...we didn't know was possible.
