Giraffe
This one was a surprise! Emily sat down at the table and wrote away while I napped on the couch and try to will myself back to health. The flu that hit Jonathan than myself has to be the strongest flu out there! Lucky for us, we caught it early in Emily and the medication has saved her from the worst.
Emily’s love of giraffe is not new.
When Emily was 7, she wanted to move to Kenya. She learned about Kenya in 1st grade and was fascinated by the landscape, the animals and the culture.
January 1998, we offer her the next best thing, a trip to Disney with a room at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. This is 9 year old Emily looking at wild animals from our balcony.
Following is what Emily wrote about giraffes. I believe google helped her with this!
She told me some of the key words she wanted to write about and she wrote about them.
My big win on this post is definitely Emily’s printing! Look at it!
When Emily was diagnosed with Cri du Chat Syndrome, we were told that she would do nothing. Not walk, talk, recognized us or understand us.
We’ve worked with physiotherapist and occupational therapist for every milestone Emily has achieved. We’ve learned how to work with her to help her grow and developed new skills. Her printing above is such a big win!!!

Lessons from my daughter 
Hurraaayyy! This is awesome! 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you!
I had no idea that giraffes could run that fast! Thank Emily for teaching me something new! 🙂
I will pass your message along! Thank you for reading 😊
Please do! 🙂
😊
This is a beautiful reminder of the indomitable spirit of Emily. So wonderful. Hope you feel better soon.
Thank you for your nice comment and for teaching me a new word “indomitable”. 😊. I hope we feel better soon too, this is day 6 and I’ve had enough…
Giraffes also have purple tounges! At least that’s what my 6 year old tells me 😉 wonderful facts Emily!
I believe that’s true! Kids know so much!!!
Beautiful! My son has dysgraphia, and his writing is legible only if he writes slowly. And he doesn’t want to do anything slowly with a brain that travels at Mach 5 most of the time. He’s figured out how to use the voice search on his iPad and uses that almost exclusively. I’ve also worked with him to use talk to text technology for writing short papers. I need to have him practice typing more. I didn’t know giraffes only need to drink water every few days- how fascinating!
Emily’s voice is different than what the common softwares recognizes. She uses google and YouTube a lot and can find a lot of information, I am always amazed at the stuff she finds.
I was wondering if she could use voice to text technology.
Maybe with a more sophisticated software.
What a wonderful post from Emily. She’s doing such a great job!
Thank you!
🙂
I would love it if Katie could write as nicely as Emily!! Her writing is still very preschoolish. Great job Emily!!
Thank you for reading Laura. I had no idea her printing was this good! Just last month we were wondering about technology to help her in writing class.
