Water Therapy!

We've been trying something new lately with the 'licious. We finally got approved for weekly warm water therapy and I'm not sure I have ever seen her more excited or enthusiastic over something like she is when we enter the pool deck.
.
We've officially been going for three weeks but these pics are from her very first session. Here she is with Miss Elena, checking things out.
.


Miss Elena kept trying to make Gabs do things she really would rather not do, but alas, she completed her tasks and all was well in the pool.



"Wait...what? Why do I have to lay down? I don't want to get my hair wet."




About a half hour into the session, Gabby started getting really happy and VOCAL.
.
I'm certain that every senior citizen that walked into that pool for water aerobics not only got a "Hiiiiii!" but also got blown a big fat kiss as well. She was too funny.



See? Absolutely giddy!



I am so glad we have the oppurtunity to do this. Not only is this fantastic for her strength, balance, mobility, tone, etc, etc... The amount of joy she gets from this is priceless. I predict she will be a little fishy by age four. ;)

Hmmm, I would love to more about that, 'weekly warm water therapy', I will have to ask Presley's therapists about that, it sounds awesome!
As USUAL Gabby looks adorable, and the picture of her screaming is priceless. LOVE IT!
Did she actually have to do all her tasks?? I would think a kid THAT cute, with a bathing suit THAT precious, would be able to get away with alot!! LOL!

The pictures of Gabby are fantastic! I think you do have a water baby on your hands! Sure wish I was one of those seniors getting my own "Hiiiii!".♥

That looks like so much fun!

Fun!!! KayTar loves to swim, too. If Gabs is anything like KayTar does much better physically when the threat of gravity is removed.

She is so cute! I wish we could do water therapy, but it does not fit into our schedule at this time. We do spend a lot of time in the pool, though, and Annelies loves it!
