Gracie has been doing amazing things lately. We pretend that it's because she turned the big SIX years old... ;) She didn't cry when I did her hair (just 6 little rubberbands along the front of her hair to pull it back from her face). She didn't throw an arching full force tantrum when she was starving after church on Sunday. She's standing with very little support at times. AND she's trialing a power wheelchair - she's doing really well with the trial. She gets it conceptually. Doesn't get the quick reaction time required for stopping and the whole turning thing... but so far we're really encouraged by how she's doing with it. She seems to really like being able to get herself from point A to point B! I'll post a video at some point when I get it off the camera. We haven't given up on her walking someday, but not soon enough or quickly enough to let her keep up with her intellectual and social development.
