The other day I was thinking about the blog and realized that I haven't posted for a few months so I knew it was time for a little update. On the flip side no updates is usually a good thing because that means Westin doesn't have anything to major going on. We made it through the holidays which was both wonderful and very sad. My Grandma passed away unexpectedly at the beginning of December, so we have been dealing with that the best that we can. Westin and her were very very close, she lived here in Wahpeton and we would go see her almost every day. Its been a difficult adjustment for us, but we take it one day at a time.
As far as Westin goes, we have taken a month break from speech therapy. I hate the hour drive when its soo cold so I decided just to take a little break which has been good for both of us. He will start going again on Feb 17th. He continues doing PT once a week which he enjoys, I don't feel like hes doing anything new, only maintaining the leg strength that he has which is very important as he gets older and heavier. He has been falling more then normal so that is a concern for us. Also when walking he tires very easily, so I am guessing we will be going back to the taller braces for more support when we get our next pair. We will be bringing both of these things up in April when we go back to Gillette for Spina Bifida clinic.
I cant even believe I am writing this but Westin turned 4 on January 13th. How is that even possible???? It so overwhelming to think how far he has come in that amount of time. Its so fun watching him grow and learn so many new things. Most of the time he is to smart for his own good. He also loves to test the limits... I am afraid he gets that from me :) We are also starting the hunt for preschool. We are looking for a 2-3 days a week for 3 hours a day. I think that he will love it. It will also be a nice break for this Momma!
We are ready for spring.. OK, I'm ready for spring...Westin loves to play out in the snow. He has his own snow hill in the backyard that he farms on with his tractors from the sandbox. Its so fun watching his imagination run wild.
