As most of you know, Newman has had a time with his legs and is real scared of tiled or hardwood floors. He has never been able to jump before and is just pretty docile when it comes to floors and getting on high things.
Last night, before I left for work, Rich was teasing Newman with a toy. Rich played tug-of-war with Newman for a minute with his toy and then held the toy high over his (Rich's) head.
Newman looked at it for a moment and then LEAPED (I'm talking ALL 4 FEET off the ground!!) and grabbed his toy from his dad. I just stood there speechless for a second. I honestly got a little misty since Newman has been through so much.
I think he's finally BETTER!!!
*Oh, let's not mention the fact that he painted the carpet with white-out while Rich was out eating supper*

That was a GIANT "leap of faith"!
