Brother time! Owen loves his big brother especially when he spends time with him.
This is something new to us. I think it has been out for awhile but I just heard of it. It is Eagle Eyes. The electrodes on Owen's face make his eyes the mouse to the computer. Yesterday a guy came up to do an evaluation because I wanted to make sure it would be good for Owen before ordering it. He did really well but did not like the "monkey's jumping on the bed video". It is so funny to see him make up his mind and find a way to tell us. He loved the annoying banana song and the alien singing "I will survive" and then getting smashed by a disco ball at the end. He is all boy! He played that video over and over and it didn't take him long to restart it each time.
He work so hard for almost two hours! He was exhausted! He looked like he had just run a marathon when the guy left. Who knew it could be so much work? He did great and really enjoyed it, now we are going to see if there enough programs for Owen and then we will see about getting this program.
It is amazing what there is in technology.
The video is of Owen turning on the two videos all by himself. His eyes are the cursor and he has to control his eye movement enough to hit the target (picture) for the video to start. This was at the first so he was a little slower but he got really fast when he liked it.

OH MY! GOODNESS! GRACIOUS!! How amazing is the technology...but even more amazing is your OWEN! He simply melts my heart! Love to all!
Gayle, You are such an inspiration to me! Your attitude is amazing! You have such a beautiful family, I watched Bentley play ball on Saturday and I am impressed at what a great young man he is. You're doing good work and your family continues to be in our prayers!
That is the coolest thing ever and Owen is a little smarty pants!
That is amazing! How awesome that they have such cool technology and that Owen enjoys it so much. I hope there are programs available so that he can benefit from them!
We love technology!! It's such a blessing in especially in Owen's case. I got your message the other day. Things are going good right now but you never know about tomorrow! Right? Thanks for the kind words about my niece's baby. It was a bad deal. Genetic problems which you are well aware of. It seems like the family is doing alright. Lots of tough days.... I think I am preaching to the preacher! LOL Hope things are going well on your home front. Owen looks sooo good! Keep in touch... Love, Sandra
