In late July Charley was able to participate in wheelchair dancing through the Wheelchair Dancers Organization here in San Diego. I was so excited for her to have this wonderful opportunity. Charley and her amazing aide Nettie learned the routine. After some practice they preformed it with other children from Charley's school. I could tell she really liked it because she let Nettie help her with ALL the hand movements. If you know Charley then you know she's not letting you help her do anything she doesn't want to do! It was an emotional experience for me to see Charley getting to do something so typical! I am so proud of my tiny dancer! Check out the link below.
