Okay, a little behind the scenes info here:
Parker has been going up and down the big fight of stairs that connects our upper and lower levels. It’s kinda fun to watch him go up and down them. He’s much more confident (and quicker!) going up!
Parker actually began last night’s great escape from our upstairs family room when he heard the front door open. He raced across the family room, down the hall and then made his way down the front door step.
You don’t see this in the video because I was racing to find my Flip. Seems the last person who used it didn’t put it back in it’s proper place.
ahem.
Besides the excitement of our Hero doing such a great job making it down (and up!) the stairs is the blessing that even with all the physical effort, he isn’t short of breath, sweating, blue around the lips….nothing…..even when he is running all over the house and climbing up our big indoor flight of stairs.
He doesn’t stop to sit down because he’s tired. He’s stops to sit down so he can scoot to the edge of the stair….the way his PT taught him.
That might not be important to you, but it is to this Mama who is constantly on the lookout for signs of Parker’s PH manifesting.
PS: Reed and I crack up each time we watch this and see how Parker hesitates before he makes his escape over the grass. Our kid HATES the feel of grass on his feet. He is EXCEPTIONALLY tactile defensive with anything on his feet.
heh.
Parker looks so good and so healthy. I love that he is able to finally explore the outside and all that comes with it. Thanks for sharing this.

As one of Parker’s prayer partners, this is important to me.
Way to go Parker! You look great exploring outside. Hope you get to do a lot more of it! You’re family is always in my prayers. ~Sarah
WooHoo Parker! Way to go ittle man!
Too cute!
WTG Parker! My Andrew (5) wouldn’t even THINK about walking through the grass like that! (or sand, or rocks, or……..)
I so love watching Parker explore and take off through the grass. Go Parker!!
Yeah Parker. I can’t even get socks or shoes on Wysdom’s feet. Love to hear that he is doing the stairs.
oh so awesome!
Eeek! The cuteness is just too much!
Way to go Parker! I love that he just went for it through the grass…a determined guy!
hehe! I loved his little run across the grass!
