Letting go

For the past couple of nights, Rainey has been learning to throw the ball for the dogs. He picks the ball up, puts it over his shoulder, then drops it behind him. With a little help from me, he can throw it in front of him. He gets so excited when the dogs return the ball to him, he starts clapping and bouncing up and down.

This being said, I have been able to use the ball to coax him into letting go of the recliner and walk towards me to get the ball. He can take about two to three steps then falls, and falls hard. Nonetheless, he continues to do it over and over again. He is not afraid of letting go anymore and is always smiling.

Here are two very short videos of him earlier today trying to get a string I am holding. Thanks Natalie, these came from your presents :)

(PS - I'll work on getting a video of him throwing the ball for the dogs.)
