It's that time of year when the first marks of the school year are out for all my older children and Mermaid has been working hard to learn new skills also. She's so close to sitting unassisted that swinging has become fun. She made a grrrreat tiger for Halloween. She's starting to distinguish her Mama from the rest. She still loves her thumb, but is starting to watch her hands waving mid-line quite a bit as well. Her physical therapist loves to have her standing or in a quadruped position. The occupational therapist loves to see her grabbing and focusing. And the speech therapist is thrilled with the variety of facial responses she is demonstrating. For me...I started with Mermaid. Then I had Mermaid with Downs. Now, it's just Mermaid again. Sure, she's got strawberry blond hair, impossibly blue eyes and Downs. It's just one of those things. What really makes her special is the precious soul inside. I love this girl!
