Smallfoot

Emily and I went to see Smallfoot on Halloween night.

It was such a cute movie and I loved how the morale of the story was about perception. How both side thought the monsters were the other group.

Emily bought the movie soundtrack as soon as it was available and has been researching all the voice actors in the movie.

At cheer, she decided to tell her friends about the movie and how Channing Tatum voices the main Yeti character.

Emily’s friends didn’t understand her and I chose to let her try and explain herself differently. I didn’t jump in the conversation than I heard her say.

“You know, Channing Tatum, from Magic Mike!”

I heard it and just started laughing before I could ask her if I had heard her right. Than I asked her if she watched Magic Mike to which she answered something like no but I’ve heard you talk about it.

😳😂😂😂😅

This is only a fragment of Emily’s story and I’m so glad to be a part of it!

Emily’s Hopes and Dreams

Here I am, once again…

Sitting in my car with a book and a coffee.

Far enough to give Emily the space she needs to grow and conquer but close enough to be there in less than a minute if she needs me.

I love that she is growing and that our friends and community are willing to invest time in her.

Today she’s job shadowing at her cheer club in hopes to find a volunteering opportunity that would help her build more life and social skills.

She took to heart the directions she’s received. She’s branded with her club’s cheer gear, she’s wearing her indoor shoes, she has her long hair in a ponytail and is wearing a cheer bow.

I left her in good hands but …

I am still sitting in my car with a book and a coffee!
