Monkey!

Some children just pull on your heart strings and don't let go... Little Phuong is one of those for me! Her nickname is Monkey, well deserved by her behavior! She is six years old, non-verbal, but she very bright and knows what she wants -- and how to get it! She is one of the children I work with in the physiotherapy room, mainly on walking. She is steady on her feet but seems scared to make the jump from walking when holding my hand to walking alone. I've been successful at getting her to do a couple of steps on her own a handful of times. My greatest success is having taught her how to blow kisses!  I hope this video gives you a glimpse of her...
