Anya had a great day today. Nothing special to speak of. Just a good & happy day.
She had her annual assessment with Imagine! today. They provide us with all of Anya's therapy services (www.imaginecolorado.org). They have been absolutely wonderful through this whole process. I can't imagine doing this without their assistance/guidance. We have been very fortunate to be set up with such wonderful, caring, knowledgeable people. During the meeting Anya sat in Katie's lap and just smiled from ear to ear. Yes, she's given smiles before but these were long-lasting, beautiful, pure happiness smiles. It's like she just knew everyone in that room was there for her, to help her, to love her. She feels it.
It seemed then for the rest of the day she was just extraordinarily happy. Katie is up in bed with her now playing with her toys together and you can just tell she is totally grasping the concept of happiness. I've always felt in order for her to make progress she needs to have desire, some driving force to learn and expand her mind. After seeing her today I think she's found it; the simple desire to be happy. I think that will take her a long way.
