Walking and Potty Training 09.25.08

Okay we have had a breakthrough! Alex refuses still to walk on his own but we have been starting to just sit on the potty several times a day and started about two weeks ago. As of this week (the last seven or eight days) Alex has been going on the potty. He will need to go and start yelling "ma ma ma" so off we go running. Because he isn't walking yet, I have to get him there fast! Kim our PT came yesterday and gave me some new tips on trying to get him to let go and start trying to step on his own. He will walk with both hands held or with a push toy but otherwise HECK NO! He just needs that little first step of confidence and the bravery that comes with it to get him going. We'll keep working on it but it's soooo slow going!

Holy Cow Ashlie that is so Amazing. I am terrified of the potty training issue. Because it seems to be such a struggle with our special little guys. But that is absolutely incredible. Way to go Alex!!!!
