WOW!

Our little water boy has learned a NEW trick.

Yes he has, and he is quite proud of this new skill.

Watch carefully what the Marvelous Aaron Nalle can do with his arms:

From this.....

To this.....

Catch that??

Not sure what you just witnessed???

Our little guy has never in his life been able to go into the crawl position, because his arms and hands have always been too weak to support him.

But once he gets in the water, he can crawl all he likes.

He can go from sitting to crawling...

And that makes for one happy little boy.

And very proud parents.

P.S.We are so glad that we decided to take the summer off from surgeries for Aaron.  It has been a blessing to see him swimming and playing without worrying about all of the travel and the casts and the therapy sessions.

In mid-August, Aaron is scheduled for surgery on his right arm to unlock his elbow. It's a pretty scary surgery: it involves moving the tendon and cutting and rotating the bones. It all sounds extremely painful. We are not looking forward to the ordeal, especially because we know that it may be only the first in a long line of surgeries to help him gain better use of his arms and hands.
