Aside from Cutler’s continued improvement, Mason has shown some drastic improvement of his own…in ice skating.  Because of his desire to play hockey, not for ice dancing, we enrolled him in ice skating lessons.  Today we received the recommendation for his next class level and we learned that he is able to skip to advanced ice tots.  He skipped ice tots 2, leaving him with only one more class before he can get into hockey skating lessons. 

You may remember this video of his first skating endeavor after he gave blood to see if he was a match for Cutler…

And this is a video of him skating from last week…

Please excuse the layout on the first video…consider it my before and after on learning that you have to take landscape videos on the iphone.  🙂  I wish I could have taken a video from tonight’s skating as his confidence is through the roof.  We went around twice without me holding his hand at all.

First things first, we just got more bone marrow results from Cutler’s last blood test and he is now up to 93%!  So very excited to see the numbers continue to increase this way.

Cutler has also proven another amazing talent.  He has an uncanny way with animals.  First it was Tau that we noticed would listen to anything he said to do using his baby talk.  Then it was some of the birds he was causing to fly consistently into our glass doors and windows.  Now he has managed to get a lion cub to lead him around the house without our help.  Truly amazing child we have…
