Abigail seems to be much happier now that our items have arrived. She woke up today had a ride on her rocking horse, did several puzzles, had breakfast and got dressed. She told me that she liked the music player and at one point we were dancing in the living room while Abigail was singing to me. How sweet. Days like today make the stay at home care taker well worth the frustrations.
One of the items in our shipment was a soccer ball. She started to show interest in soccer balls when she was about 18 months. Since we have been here she sees everyone with footballs and asks where her ball is. We went to meseumplien to kick the ball around. There were two pick up games of football there so we sat and watched for a short time and then Abigail looked at me and said "I want to play". You could see in her eyes that she really thought she had the concept and could go out there and play with the big kids. Look at the concentration in her eyes. She was good at dribbling the ball. She only tripped on the ball twice. I don't think I was that coordinated when I was her age!!! I am barely that coordinated now. We kicked the ball around for almost an hour until she was tired and wanted to go get Lucas. She wants Lucas to be Air Bud and play ball with her but he has no desire
What a day - A good one like today makes all the bad ones worth while.
