In Retrospect: Movie Night, Race, School, and Wish Granted

We had a movie night tonight. We watched the Transformers while Jojo decided to play his computer instead. But once in a while, he made comments about the movie.

Play computer or watch the movie?

Last weekend Jojo started playing with some of the presents he received during his party. A particular favorite is the remote-controlled motorcycle. It's good to know that he could actually move the little joystick to drive the motorcycle forward and back; he needs help with turning right and left.


Jojo loves to race. So he decided to drive his wheelchair and the motorcycle
to see who's going to win.

And last week, I had to do some paperwork at home and had the opportunity to see Jojo with his special ed. teacher and his adaptive P.E. teacher. That Tuesday, he was not very receptive to his teacher and was acting very playful/silly. His caregiver said it was because Jojo knew that Daddy and Mommy were both home :0) He did enjoy his session with his adaptive P.E. teacher. He played with some theraputty and tried to pop some bubbles.

The best part of being home that day was that I got to listen in when Jojo had the phone interview with the wish coordinator from Kids' Wish. We're happy to report that Jojo will have the opportunity to go to Disney World next year!

  2. Love the race video!
    I would love to know more about how Jojo uses the computer: how he accesses it and what software he likes?
    Happy Halloween to Jojo and his family!
