Our neighbor Cindy Garrison sent over a lot of home school supplies last night. We felt like it was Christmas at our house! Cindy had no idea how much Emily would enjoy the things she sent. It is going to make school lots more fun and exciting! We talked about an artist who put paint on a flat surface then scraped designs etc. then you put a piece of paper on top and it transfers to the paper. We had to try this of course and she LOVED it! She sang about loving to paint all morning long.
Emily was so wiped out from playing yesterday that she kept telling me how much she likes being home. It is so opposite from her usual--"Where are am I going today?" She has definitely slowed down! I am sure it will take a long time to feel like her normal self again!
We were at a store today and a lady walked up and asked if she could give Emily money to buy something. She looked like she was going to cry and had such a pleading in her eyes; I couldn't help but wonder why. It was such a sweet thing to do. About 20 minutes later Emily had another lady come to her and tell her how special she is and to be brave because she can do it. She told her that her daughter who is 3 is also bald. When she left Emily said "Mom, everyone is so nice and they don't even know me!" I think this is what she needed today. It really made her feel good. I promised to take her to Toys R Us tomorrow after her clinic visit; she can't wait! She finally has money to get something!
