A Day At The Park

Filed Under: Family, Photography

Last Wednesday it was such a gorgeous day, we decided to take advantage of it and spend then day at the park. I didn’t feel like lugging around my DSLR so I used my iPhone to capture these memories.

The boys had a lot of fun. Someone had a little dog there that Dustyn played with most of the time. Carsyn enjoyed swinging for the most part, looking around, and watching Dustyn. I can tell that he wishes so much to be able to run around and play with his brother. I just hope that comes true.

He really is doing well. He is pulling himself to a stand on his little zebra ride on and sitting himself back down easy. He is also holding onto that really well these days. He does good pulling up on that because the seat keeps his legs from scissoring. His therapist and I have been talking about getting him a gait trainer (walker). Hopefully we can get that and he can learn how to use it so that he can have a little more independence. I know he wants to be able to move around on his own.

Linking up: Sweet Shot, 52 Weeks of Happiness and Communal Global

Thank you to everyone that has donated so far. I had no idea we would be this close to reaching our goal already, so thank you. You do not even know how much.
