Besides being an amazing little girl, Bella has now added Master Gardener to her list of accomplishments. Yesterday she helped me poke holes in the dirt so that I could plant spinach seeds. As the plants grow, I will have her feel them and teach her about how to care for the spinach. When they are ready to harvets, I will have her help me. This should be a fun project!
In other Bella news, she has begun learning Braille. Her therapist uses a muffin tin and tennis balls to teach her the placement of the Braille dots. Eventually she will learn how to feel Braille on pages of books and on signs. So far she has mastered the letters A, B, C, and D.
I can't believe all the progress Bella has made this year. All I have to do is blink and she is doing something new. She is on the verge of walking without assistance and talks my head off. Bella has gone from saying words to constructing full sentences. I can actually have a small conversation with her. I'm so excited for her future and all that she will accomplish.
