A New Video

11 May 2009

Darius got into another laughing fit.  Only this time, with some stealth camera work by Papi, we caught it on film!

Big Smiles

Not sure why these photos were taken, but I was up for it – maybe they were taken because I was smiling…

Another good smile

The next level is a higher stool.  Though here it looks like I’m just leaning against it.

Apparently WordPress has changed how to attach videos.  The link above will take you to Google video to see a short video of me doing my thing – it was taken on Momma’s still camera, hence the quality.

End the R-Word

31 March 2009

badge_250x270_nodate1Dear friends,
Today, 3-31-09, is a special day that has been set aside to honor those with special needs. There is a movement going around the world to end the use of the R-Word (retard). Today I am inviting you to join this group and, by doing so, take the R-Word pledge. That simply means that you will not use the R-Word, not even about yourself. It also means that you will teach your children to do the same and, hopefully, take a stand when you hear the word used. Please be a part of this historic day by joining, and inviting others to join as well!

Take the opportunity to pledge to end the derogitory use of the r-word.

Darius’ New Voice

8 February 2009

Darius has found a new voice – and it’s LOUD!  Turn speakers up for full effect.

Please tell us the joke, Darius!

Still Laughing, but won’t tell Momma why!

Results?

8 November 2008

For comparison’s sake, check out this previous post first.

This is Darius’ progress in the last 10 months or so – the most significant improvements coming, coincidentally or not, soon after receiving treatment.

He never did this (sitting unsupported on this stool) so proficiently (for so long, w/o support, w/o toppling off) before treatment…

A little more than 6 minutes of video, and he was still sitting there after David stopped recording, took the camera to his computer, turned the video into a Quicktime movie, transferred it to portable media, gave the memory card to me, and I sat and watched him still sitting there for awhile, then I got up to come post it here, and he was still sitting there!

Don’t mean to over-load you, but here’s one more video before I call it a day. The video’s title: “Buh-bye”

This video was taken by Grandma on her “still” camera. It’s a little grainy, but still good!
