All better

As you can see Sebastian is up and about once again. The last two days have been very busy and fun filled for the little guy. On Thursdays we went to a inflatable play place (gotta love $5 play days !) and followed that up with a trip to the zoo where it felt as if we were the only ones there.

At the play place Sebastian did a very grand thing , he climbed up the ladder of a huge inflatable slide , repeatedly on his own !! This requires a LOT of upper body strength, motor planning and just plain gusto to go the distance. We are so tickled and proud of him !!


(daddy showing him how for the first time)








It was so much fun to be able to let Sebastian roam the zoo where he wanted with no worries, we hung around with the gorillas and monkeys for well over an hour then caught two of the tiger feedings. The tiger feeding sessions are a new thing at our local zoo , at the recently renovated tiger cage they have a roll up steel door where they then feed the cat though a chain link fence and answer any questions you may have. It is pretty impressive to see them up close and frightening when you hear those massive jaws chopping and smacking on the meat !!
Sebastian really enjoyed watching Sasha (the tiger) eat, growling at her and telling her she did a " Good Job" when she stood up to retrieve her treat from the stick, causing all the handlers to laugh.



The gorilla area, an amazing spread that gives multiple outdoor and indoor areas for the gorillas to run amok in, is usually standing room only but being a wee bit cool , as in long sleeves not even a jacket cool, was empty. During the entire time we were there we only saw three other families pass through. We followed the gorillas back and forth as they went outside and came back in , after awhile I began to think they were just messing with us silly humans staring at them.

Today at therapy Sebastian tried to hard to jump up off the ground but it is still just not happening yet, even on his beloved trampoline. I am impressed by his determination though , I think it will click for him soon.
