Grace revolts!
Well, not exactly. But she was doing such a terrible job this afternoon that I revolted! You would think her practice walking was just a leisurely stroll. She ignored my repeated requests that she do it right. So I stopped the timer and told her I'm done for the day. I refuse to spend 15 of the 20 minutes telling her to look at her feet and do it right.
She got quite upset. I really fanned her into a frenzy when I told her I was going to send email to Mary telling Mary that Grace was going to quit. OMG. It was quite interesting to observe. I even rejected her pleas to let her do her exercises until she would tell me how she planned to do them better.
Then I took her outside and we started all over again. And, I'm happy to say she did them very well. We even got in 5 extra minutes over the day - not bad considering this morning we were running late and had to make up 5 minutes later in the day. And yesterday we got our entire hour in.

Oh man- I can totally remember trying to teach Abbie to walk again after she spent 2 months in a spica cast from a broken femur.
The casting and getting her to TRY walking afterwards was the worst. I wish you the best of luck in your adventure! I know you have different struggles ahead for you, but keep in mind that the best thing we can be are survivors, rather than the victims. :-)
You guys go to a wonderful hopital. Abbie attended Shriner's out there for juvanile rheumatoid arthritis when she was 2 and saw doctors who work at your hospital. Best doctors I ever had the chance to talk to. :-)
