Dogwoods

I have really been struggling with what a downer these posts are most of the time. I hate that. The reality is Alma has it pretty rough right now and while we do our best to help her feel comfortable, it is rare when she does seem happy.

To the right there are some beautiful pictures of Alma swinging at the park with Kaiya. I was so happy to hear that Alma still has the coordination to do that. It must have made her feel so good to do something for herself without having someone in her face telling her how to do it.

This morning, Alma and I were out early and she was so overjoyed by all of the flowers blooming everywhere. Being outside in the sunshine just transforms her mood and I was so grateful for that. I think we will spend most of the day outside.

  1. NOTICED THE PICTURES BEFORE YOU MENTIONED IT; WHAT A JOY TO SEE HER ENJOYING HERSELF.
    HOPEFULLY THE WEATHER WILL BE NICE AND YOU CAN SPEND PART OF EACH DAY OUT DOORS.
    WILL SHE RESUME DAY CARE THIS WEEK?

  2. Yes, we had a lovely long walk this afternoon and she was just so excited to see all of the blooms. It was really sweet watching her open her arms and breathe in spring. Love you, Jo!
