Following Faith with Aralyn

Today was a simple day. Woke up, went to therapy, came home, played. Days like today give me a sense of normalcy. Aralyn was so animated today. She smiled and laughed and mumbled all day. She's never been so verbal. I couldn't help but laugh when I laid her in her crib and she instantly screamed. I picked her up and the world was good again. Of course I had to repeat the process a few times just to see if she was playing me. She was. I loved it. I didn't see it as a result of her being spoiled rotten but that she had the ability to process wanting to be held. She responded. She expressed that she did not want to lay down. She said it loud and clear. That's a win. She is dominating her diagnosis one day at a time. I couldn't help but smile today, not because I had to but because I wanted to. I am so blessed!
