New Bath Chair

Alexander FINALLY received his bath chair! I was so excited to give him his first bath with it. I knew he would love being able to sit up in the bath and play. We have been laying him down in the tub with towels under his head. It worked well, but we were excited for him to be able to sit up and play in the water. I got everything all ready, and it was time for his first bath in the bath chair. Alexander got in his chair, and as the tub was filling with water he immediately started asking for his toys. He absolutely LOVED his new bath chair, and it was so incredible to watch him smile and play so easily. I am so thankful for equipment like this because it lets my little boy experience many things despite his SMA.

That smile is PRICELESS!

Alexander's iPad

For Christmas, Alexander was blessed to receive an iPad from his Mimi. We did a ton of research on the iPad, and knew that Alexander would be so lucky to have that technology in his hands. He is such a smart little boy, and is often frustrated when he can not physically do something that he wants to do. We knew that it would be both fun and educational for him, and would be useful to him for many years. We wanted him to have this so bad, and we were so blessed that his Mimi was able to get it for him. On Christmas day, he opened it and immediately figured out what to do. He was instantly in love with it, as was everyone in the room watching him use it. He now plays with it ALL the time, and has already learned so much from it. We have tried to keep it as educational as possible, with some FUN thrown in. I am so impressed that he can figure it out without us having to teach him. He is one blessed little boy, and we are so blessed for this kind of technology.
