Spandex Pants and Jazz-er-size!!!

Well it has truly been a busy busy week! Monday I had my Anatomy class in the morning and then got to go watch Caden for the day while Sam and Grandma took Mason to his pre-op appointment. Mason's doctor was amazed at the progress he has made in the last few months. Last time he saw Mason, he wasn't sitting up by himself, he wouldn't look at you when you said his name, he wouldn't even look you in the eye... but now he is looking at people, mimicking sounds that we make, going from laying to sitting (by himself), and even working on a little army crawl!!! Yeah Mason!!!

Tuesday I had more school (one morning class and one afternoon class). I am probably going to drop the afternoon class because it is going to be a big waste of time to keep it. So after class I drove across the 405 to hang out with Sarah. We drove around Santa Monica and got lost a few times looking for a Cingular store... it was great fun. She is coming home today for the three day weekend so that's kinda cool (Love you Belle!!!) Wednesday was kinda the same as Monday accept I got to play with Mason most of the day. His mom had ordered (at the therapist's recommendation) these little hip helper pants. Pretty much Mason likes to sit spread eagle (either sit or when he lays on his back or tummy). This is cute, but it doesn't allow him to make transitions from floor to sitting and eventually standing. So these hip helpers are little blue spandex shorts (he looked like an 80's jazz-er-size kid) that has the legs sewed together which prevents him from going spread eagle. He did alright with them on (they lasted almost 20 mins and he got some good practice sitting on his knees, sitting in the crawling position, climbing up stairs...) but he eventually got frustrated and we took them off. He is really learning and growing so much and it really makes leaving hard... but we shall see what happens.

Yesterday I didn't go to class because I had meetings to go to and I actually have to head out to one right now. Happy Friday everyone and have a great weekend!

That's pretty amazing about the spandex shorts -- sewn together. Glad all of that is working out.

Um ... you didn't mention your fabulous class on Monday night with your fabulous friend -- or mention how much we learned! I think I am actually going to miss my class on Monday.
