I say the gym and golden spoon are truly in order this evening _

I’m excited to hear about the apple sauce. On Friday, I was helping her use the spoon to feed herself and I knew she was so close to doing it all on her own. She was so stoked on using the spoon to eat. Then, Sunday morning, we helped her feed herself yogurt and put a mirror in front of her so she could watch herself. She seemed to get stoked on that too. Hooray! Go Laelia

You make me cry and laugh at the same time! yes, I really think you have proved your strength by being able to stand after all that happened to you in one single day. It was like watching a sitcom on TV where you think “this couldn’t possibly happen to one person in one day!” This week’s sermon was on “perseverance” and you certainly persevered! By the way, I don’t think it is funny that your dryer doesn’t work or that your landlord doesn’t have to replace anything–that is so unfair!). I know it wasn’t funny to you when you couldn’t find your phone but what you said was funny. the best part was saved for the last–PTL! Laelia ate applesauce with her spoon all by herself for the time! then there was your own words of encouragement and what matters most: “Best. day. Ever.” makes me cry tears of joy!
