Me: Em, come on move faster little snail, wash your face than I’ll come fix your hair.
Emily: I fixed my hair already.
16 years 3 months and some days later….
Emily was practicing on her dolls but I had no idea she transferred the knowledge and skills to her own hair.
I am once again amazed and proud. 2014 has been so far a good life skills learning year for Emily and I will do my best to update you on all of those milestones who look so small and overdue to the outside world but you and I know, they are tremendous achievements in Emily’s world!
Lessons from my daughter 
She is making such progress and growing up so fast!
Thank you. She’s so amazing and getting older by the minute.
What a great achievement. Every time Allie learns something knew I am both awed and amazed. I know that you are, too, with your Emily. What these children can accomplish should be humbling to those who find it easy.
Until you have to teach someone like Emily or Allie, it’s difficult to understand how hard little things are to learn.
