Here are a couple of photos of Nicholas sitting at his little table. I painted the top of the table with chalkboard paint awhile back but Nicholas hasn't used it much because of his disability. However, now that he is wearing his body brace most of the time, he does just fine sitting in one of the little chairs and coloring on the table. We wrote his name together and then he colored a rainbow of scribbles on his own. He sat there for a good ten minutes and played and I couldn't have been more proud!

I have been so busy recruiting my friends and family members to vote for The Gwendolyn Strong Foundation over on Facebook that I haven't had much time to blog! Anyway, go to http://voteforsma.com/ to cast your vote to help SMA...there's only 3 days left so we need all the support we can get. It only takes a minute and it's completely free. If you don't have a facebook account, sign up for one and if you don't want to keep it, simply delete it at the end of the week-simple as that.
