Second year Day 315 - Thursday October 24, 2013

Its been a week and we've been out walking every day for 30 minutes.  Bridgett has not been able to make it for the entire walk, so she and Mark come inside.  On the bright side, Stephany HAS been able to make it, and that's been a great thing!  It's been quite some time since she has had the strength to just do walking like that.  It's great to have the time to talk as well.  I was feeling kind of discouraged that last year at this time, Bridgett was walking like 1.5 to 2 miles a day.  I had a couple of days worrying about that.  Then I finally remembered a key point.  Yes, she walked that much, but never all at one time! BTW, we have a very long driveway!  Bridgett would do a max of three times up and down and then quit until later.  Most of the time she just did twice up and down, but we went out often each day.  So, now I feel much better about it and realize that we just need to go out more often!  Before, she was asking (almost begging) to go out.  Now, she's always game, but I usually have to suggest it.  Although, last night, after I tucked her into bed, she said, hey mom, will you go jogging with me in the morning.  Off and on she remembers that...I part of who she used to be!  Morning jogging was a regular pastime for her!
