She adores him, and acts embarrassed, burying her head on my shoulder, when we mention it. She just cannot express herself as well as Miss Ellie. But it is definitely a crush; her PT spotted Emma's affection for young Adam, age <br />20ish. I feel you on so many levels--the joy of watching Ellie play. This is something I dream of for Emma as she is still too "disabled" to play with some things independently. Emma is however using her arms more, so she is starting to play more with toys on her tummy! It is so nice.I can only imagine her being able to hold and feed a doll by herself one day, a doll that she actually ambulated to and picked up. That will be a great day!!<br /><br />I am believing with you, in faith, that Ellie will make that trip to the mailbox, and I will be crying with you when she does. Or at least when I see the picture or read the post, I'll be a flood.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11818818093248788832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739498627453680997.post-11217918374205720932009-06-18T13:50:27.711-06:002009-06-18T13:50:27.711-06:00Oh, our sweet little girl...

Jess & I were just talking on the way to WV about how we think we're all going to be surprised how much is going on in that little head of hers as she's more and more able to express herself, and here's proof already!<br /><br />Can't wait to come visit and see how great she's doing!

I was at a dance recital on Saturday and out of 57 dances there were 2 with special needs kids, mostly down syndrome kids but one little girl maybe 8 years old or so had a reverse kaye walker, braces up to her knees, what an inspiration she was. These girls got thunderous applause and I am tearing up again thinking about it. Such a special night. I just wanted to share that uplifting story with you. <br /><br />Good luck with the intense therapy. Hope Ellie still loves Chris after all is said and done. ;)Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14600361913851978373noreply@blogger.com
