The Farm Park

 We checked out the small, farm park in our city this weekend.   We had never been there before and Jillian loved it.  She noticed all the animals and was very interested in them.  She also used her "voice" (NOVA chat device) to name all the animals she saw.  It just almost made this momma cry to hear her using her magical device to voice the name of the animals because so much is in her head even though she can't speak.  She has so much knowledge and language in there and this magical device is her ticket to get it out.   She must have hit the pig button ten times while standing by the pig pen.  She was proud as pudding with herself as she has never been able to say pig before.  Truly, this kid is a walking miracle and just enjoyed everything about being in the farm today!  I never imagined she would come so far when she was first placed in my arms.  To see God work in her has been truly amazing!

 Anna Mei went down to Em's room early this morning to wake her because "whole famlee go to farm park".  She often says "whole famlee" when we are all together and she loves her big sister so much!

 Jillian was so intrigued by all she saw and labeled it all with her NOVA chat. She is getting eye level with the ducks.

 Em and Anna Mei taking in the donkey.  He was a white, old specimen, but he pleased Anna very much when he made a HEE HAW sound.

 She loved posing on this tractor.

This is her cheesy posing smile.  So funny!  She wiped out on the way out of the farm and skinned her knee.  We may have a band aid filled summer.
