The day before yesterday we had a mini Triathlon in the foster home<br \/>\nback yard and he did very well. He jumped and crawled around in the swimming pool, splashing<br \/>\nwater with his hands. He ended up splashing not only himself, but all of the children around him!<br \/>\nWhen Samuel got water in his eyes, he wiped his face and continued to play with the others.<br \/>\nSamuel did brilliantly on the race track. As soon as the signal was fired he raced to the finish as<br \/>\nfast as he could. After the running race we had a crawling race for Samuel and his buddy Joshua<br \/>\nwho also specializes on his hands and knees. Samuel is so quick that he raced ahead of Joshua at<br \/>\nfirst, but he is also so thoughtful that he waited to cross the finish line until Joshua caught up so<br \/>\nthat they could cross together. Samuel is now able to go up and down the stairs without the aid<br \/>\nof an adult. He can also climb onto the sofa, eat and take off his clothes independently. Samuel\u2019s<br \/>\nsmile and laughter brightens up any day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Still waiting and hoping for our provincial approval.\u00a0 Maybe today?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was up far too late\u00a0last night when our update came through\u00a0about Samuel.\u00a0 It made it easier to go to sleep after having had that snippit of info about him.\u00a0 Every day I look for updates on the New Day blog, foster home site and their\u00a0 Facebook page.\u00a0 Getting this update once a month is [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_s2mail":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[9,29],"tags":[63,66],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learningtogetherathome.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/982"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learningtogetherathome.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learningtogetherathome.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learningtogetherathome.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learningtogetherathome.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=982"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.learningtogetherathome.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/982\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":984,"href":"https:\/\/www.learningtogetherathome.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/982\/revisions\/984"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learningtogetherathome.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learningtogetherathome.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learningtogetherathome.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
