Faith, Trust, and a Little Pixie Dust

The words "fun" and "cage" don't normally go together, for obvious reasons!   However, the "fun cage" as it's called at GiGi's physical therapy is a pretty amazing contraption that allows kids to jump, "fly", and do all sorts of things that their body would not normally allow them to do on their own.  Gianna has been looking at the Fun Cage with skepticism and fear for two years, allowing Angelo to get in it to experience the "fun" part.  Finally, she has warmed up to the idea, has faith that physical therapy is actually going to be quite a bit of fun, and trusts that once she's tired of the cage, we'll get her right out.  GiGi now actually requests to get in to jump (or "pop!" as she calls it)! 

This is a video of the first time I got to see her pop!



 "Flying like Tinkerbell" is her absolute favorite activity
Here's the latest video of her working on some balance skills. 

And this picture of Angelo just cracks me up!
