Emmie teaching Josie to really throw a Frisbee...so sweet

Today was filled with new activities for Josie. At the first recess, she decided she wanted to learn how to play handball...so she did. The kids were so patient and kind, as usual, and helped her learn to play. They hit the ball straight to her and she was able to return it a few times. She loved standing in line, waiting her turn. She feels so apart of everything that everyone else is doing.

At P.E. sweet Emmie Lew taught her how to really throw a Frisbee. (see pictures above) Emmie is so patient and kind with her. I purposely left her on her bike, so that I wasn't apart of what they were doing. Emmie is keenly aware of what is around them and what could possibly harm Josie and her head. It is amazing that some of these kids have a sense like that at such a young age. It is so much fun to be able to step back and watch the interaction without my interfering.

So Emmie summed up for me what I have been trying to achieve with Josie from day one. I strive to have her be able to do anything she wants. I never tell her she can't do something because of her circumstance. That would only reflect my sheer laziness. Today Emmie said, "wow Josie can do anything she wants." Yes she can and I love more than anything that she tries it all. The only thing that she hasn't tried yet on the play ground it tether ball. It will come in time. Good night, Jenny and Josie
