Sarah's Update

Jonathan and Sarah having fun fitting inside a duffle bag

Sarah just loves her little brother!

 Sarah loves to ride her bike!

 Sarah just loves the water, enjoying going deeper with Daddy so she can dunk her head in the water!

First time attempting to do rock climbing, but this is how far she got!

Sarah, oh what to say,  well she loves to just be a little Mommy.  She loves to help with Gordon (sometimes too much), and help with what she can.  She loves her baby dolls and playing with them, and dressing them up in her clothes since she really has none of her own.  Sarah loves to try to keep up with Jonathan, and LOVES to go swimming and ride her bike.  Sarah was tested this summer and she has expressive and receptive speech delay which helps a little, we are still trying to find a good therapist around her.  She still struggles with going to sleep, but we deal with it.  We started homeschooling Sarah and Jonathan this week, and I am just doing my best with Sarah.  Hopefully with the extra help and the district preschool we can get her caught up! (That is the hope and prayer).  Sarah loves to sing and color.  We continue to work on Sarah behavior issues, which is very exhausting at times.  But we try to remember the big picture.  Sarah is so caring.  Great Grandpa was in the hospital recently and Sarah was so worried about him and prayed for him every time she prayed, she is so sweet. Sarah bore her testimony a few weeks ago, and she was so proud of herself.  I know that she didn't say much, but I felt that she has been asking and asking and if it is in her heart then its okay!  Sarah has made a big improvement in Mommies eyes.  She cleaned her room all by herself, without a parent in with her in a timely manner.  I was so shocked and so happy!  Sarah is starting to really like books and she will look at them with Jonathan at times, and will sit during story time at night and in the day when we do it!  Her favorite book is Corduroys Pocket! Sarah is progressing in her own way, if I just pay attention!  We love our Sarah!
