"My Future's So Bright, I've Gotta Wear Shades!"

Hello!  I can't wait to tell you about my wonderful week...it was a big one!  First and foremost, I went to the eye doctor on Monday and he said my eyes have gotten so much better that my glasses were actually inhibiting my ability to focus (I went from a +3.5 to a -1.0 is less than three months).  You know what that means...no more glasses!!!!!  I have to admit, I am a bit torn...my glasses were part of my identity, my unique style, but on the other hand, I'm really happy my eye exercises have paid off.  My parents are going to get my blue frames made into non-prescription sunglasses, so I guess I don't have to give them up completely. 

As if that wasn't good enough news for the week, my NACD Coach, Sara, e-mailed my Mom and told her that I was ready to move on to "wall stands."  Wall stands are a balancing exercise that help me use my ankle righting reflexes.  She asked my parents to start with a duration of one minute.  I blew right past that goal on my first day, and now I am standing up on my own for several minutes at a time, even taking a few steps before falling!  Sara says I'm going to "be a walker real quick!"  When Mom got that message a typical scene played out in our house...I smiled and laughed, Mom cried, and Dad made fun of Mom. 

So, needless to say, now that I am standing on my own, I thought I should help around the house.  I may look a lot like my Dad, but I am already picking up some of my Mom's tendencies! Check out my video below.

You'll notice I was trying to show off a little too..."sniffing" and "lizard tongue" are just plain funny.

I had a great weekend with Sue and Sue, they are always so nice and play fun games with me.  Besides that, we are working on my program (if Mom and Dad weren't total believers before, they certainly are now) and enjoying the beautiful weather. 

Have a great week!
