Floating on his back, with eyes big and the tiniest hint of a smile, he kicked his legs and moved his arms with determination. So happy and relaxed. The warm water freed him, no longer a prisoner wanting to wiggle yet held inside a body that doesn't cooperate.
Watching, the therapist whispered, "Oh Julie...it brings tears to my eyes to see him with such pleasure on his face. He is enjoying this so much. It's like he is truly in his body and able to use it."
Grateful hearts for little blessings today, Lord...for seeing my child enjoy his world and be able to move.

What a joy it must have been to see him so free. It must have just melted your heart!! We're so glad that you have discovered a new way to bring a smile to your sweet little guy's face.
Wow, I wish you could video it! That must have been exciting to see him so happy! This made me cry to read. Love you! - J&J
