Rachel licked an apple today. She put it up to her mouth and stuck her tongue on it. I'm not talking about just the skin of the apple. At first, she played with it and put it to her mouth a few times. Then she handed it to me and said, "open." At first I didn't think she was serious, and I asked her if she wanted me to cut it. She said, "open" again. So I cut a peice off and she started playing with it and putting it back on the apple like a puzzle peice. She would touch the inside of the apple and say, "wet" and "water." She was really into it and excited about it. She then put it up to her mouth and out came her tongue.... then she licked it! I was beyond surprised. I just had to whip out my phone and snap a quick picture of this monumental moment!
I never thought I'd be so excited for my child licking an apple. But hey, this is just super awesome. Any progress, no matter how small, is just huge around here. Rachel's second therapy session on Friday went really well. I left the session with peace and excitement in my heart. Praise the Lord. He lead us to the right place and the right therapist. I am so thankful.
Bob called me from the store on his way home from work and asked me if we needed anything. Of course I said, "apples. bring more apples."
