Strength and Contentment

God continues to use ABR to make Ruby stronger.  Check out what she did at school this week on a bike! There is no way she would have done this a year ago, especially not with a smile on her face.  Her core keeps getting stronger and more solid. That head control is even coming! The progress is  slow, but the changes are permanent. We continue to strive to be patient and love her just as she is each day. Progress is more fun to celebrate when I don't have a time line in my head for 
when it should happen.

We love the Ottawa Area Center, where she goes to school. They keep pushing her and challenging her but they also love to cuddle with her :) 

For now, Ruby is cannot move the bike forward on her own, but I hope that eventually she will be peddling this thing around school by herself!  Maybe we could even get one for our driveway someday.

For now I will just enjoy this huge grin and thank God for her new strength and contentment.
