The biggest thing Sarah did this month was start soccer!! I happened upon this great program called Top Soccer. Will was wanting to find a rec soccer team to play on this year and while I was looking for that online one day I came across Top Soccer, a program for people of all ages with special needs. It seemed like a perfect fit for Sarah and it was! Each player had a buddy and Sarah had a wonderful lady who taught special needs kids for many years. She was perfect for miss priss who really just wanted to stand at the water table. She loved it though and we were very proud of her!
When I put this uniform on her I just started crying. Every now and then something stil catches me off guard and when I saw her in her soccer uniform I flashed back to other pictures I have of her. Pictures that I won't ever show and I just fell apart.
Getting some coaching.
GOOOOOAAAAALLL!!!!
And the best part…Snack!!
Sarah also discovered my scrapbooks. She keeps pulling them out and looking through them.
I'm so glad to have them and I am so glad she loves them but to be honest it makes me sad. I don't have any baby pictures and I missed so much. I'm so thankful for every first we've had this year and so thankful she is here.
Madison Central's Homecoming was also this month. Will went with a group of friends and it was a really fun night. Late, but fun. We were so happy to have them here to take pictures and then they went to another friend's house for breakfast. A sweet group of kids!! Jenny escaped with her grandmother to Starkville that weekend and so it was just Sarah at home to watch the activites. The girls actually got ready here. Sarah sat and watched intently as they curled their hair and did their makeup. Then of course it was picture time! Sarah has gotten used to having her picture made so she felt as though she should be in these as well!
Beautiful girls and handsome boys!
Beautiful girls and handsome boys and a cute cheerleader!
Everyday when Jenny gets out of school she calls and lets me know when she is getting close to the house (she walks home.) That's my cue to send Sarah outside. All I have to say is, "Sarah! it's Jenny!" and she takes off for the door. This is what happens next. Every day.
Sarah also got a sweet new ride this month! She doesn't need it all the time but it's great for long distances. She had outgrown all the regular strollers we could find and this is made just for her! We love it, although she wasn't too sure at first.
It was perfect for our first trip to the zoo. I wish I had more pictures of that but MAN! The zoo is kinda pitiful! We had fun though and she got an icee out of it so she was good! We also ran into some friends and rode the train so it was a good day!
Speaking of sweet rides!! We should all be able to ride through Target like this, right!!
She got in some early morning toothpaste painting before school!
Please look carefully. Not just her eyebrow. Her nose, her mouth, her arm, her dress. She smelled minty feash for school that day!
It is hard to believe we have been home for almost a year! I can't wait to celebrate that huge milestone!!
