Inspiration | Lessons from my daughter

I am extremely happy that Emily is fairly high functioning but…

Yes, there is a but!

But, sometimes I feel people forget that she needs help and support.

I love chatting with her about her day, what she did and how she feels. Sometimes I get the typical 1 word answer. Other times we actually chat quite a bit.

Tonight she pulled one piece of paper out of her pocket with the word “Vietnamese” on it and told me that she needed to research and make a Vietnamese salad dressing for the salad bar at school tomorrow.

There is no notes in her agenda, no emails, nothing really to confirm what she said so we will go with it.

Emily and I researched the dressing, settled on this recipe and made a list of ingredients we needed to buy.

After dinner, Jonathan and Emily tackled the recipe and decided to double it.

I was sitting no far, just listening to the 2 of them and inserting myself in the conversation here and there.

Look at them!

Daddy made sure the measurements were good and he chopped the garlic and the hot peppers while Emily made sure that the dressing didn’t boil!

Emily had a small taste of hot chili peppers . She’s not going to do that again!

It was so much fun to see them share this moment, I loved it!

I love them!

My perfect family!

Spring arrived this past weekend and brought winter along…

We havent had much of a winter so far but today, we are in the middle of a snowstorm and school was canceled.

This made Emily really happy.

Except that on snow days, if the weather clears up, Emily might still have tutoring at 4pm so we keep track of time.

But lately, she keeps track of time.

😊😊😊😊

This is fairly new.

Her understanding of time has improved drastically over the last year and I’m loving it.

This morning I told Emily I would let her know if she had tutoring so just to be safe, I wanted her to shower and get dress.

I left for work at my regular time.

Jon works from home and this is great for Emily as she can be home on her own without being alone. Dad is in his office.

So today this happened:

Yes or no?

Impatient much?

Lol…. 😂😂😂

My girl is sassy!
