Our Boyz

first day of

Hemiplegia Constraint Camp

we took landon in on tuesday to get his cast made.

they let him choose the color....

i was a little nervous thinking he might pick pink or purple,

but when he came back in the room he had chose...

ORANGE.

(thank goodness i didn't have to be the bad mom

to tell him he couldn't get the color he chose.)

Landon had his first day of camp today.

9:00-3:00, wow! we both made it through okay.

there were a few tears at first,

but his therapist said he did great.

he is pretty attached to Evan & I, so I was so happy to hear he did so good.

(this is the therapist, Lauren, she will be with Landon the entire camp)

in the hemiplegia constraint camp

they put a cast on the non-affected arm,

requiring the child to use the weak affected arm and hand.

they are required to wear the cast the whole time.

to eat, dress, play, etc..

all the children have similar disabilities

and they are all going through a lot of the same things

which makes none of the children feel different or out of place.

Landon made new friends and had a great time.

he is even looking forward to going back tomorrow.

I am looking forward to seeing his progress in 10 days.

what camps are your kids involved in this summer?
