Last Thursday was a big day... Lauren started her equine therapy. She LOVES riding the Pal the horse. We were afraid she would just scream, but she whimpered just a little bit getting on, then the next thing we know she was riding off into the sunset waving bye-bye to us. This is going to be a great way to build he core muscles and help with her balance for walking. The therapist said she did amazing- and is ready to train her to be a barrel racer. I am really thankful for Panther Creek Inspirational Ranch and their vision to help special needs kids! What a blessing!
Nanny made Lauren a new dress. She loves being a "girly, girly", twirling around the living room! She is posing for her school picture. Lauren will start preschool next Fall. We got her all signed up, it is so hard to believe my baby girl will be going to school. Yet another door God opened up for us. I went on a tour of some preschools around in the area, and at this particular one the director called me into her office after the tour. We chatted for a while about their curriculum and how she loved having kids with special needs in her program! As a mom you love to hear those words. Later on that week, she called me and asked me if I would be interested in teaching at the school. So it all works out... Lauren will go to PPCD (Preschool Program for Children with Disabilities) in the public school system twice a week and then go to a private Christian school once a week. I will teach at the preschool once a week and Andrew gets to go too! It is a win- win situation.

Lauren's main form of mobility these days is walking! We are thrilled for this milestone. Her favorite words are "Dada", "no, no", "Eat Pleeeeeease", and "bath". She has been signing lots of new words and has mastered a few songs. Her favorite activities are playing with baby dolls, and making stuff out of play dough. She also enjoys playing dress up and bossing her little brother around!
