Today I received the best note in Chloe's little school notebook, it said that Chloe has been playing with a little girl named Marcella during recess. I emailed Miss Nancy (the para-professional in Chloe's class) and asked her to tell me more. Her reply was far more than I had ever expected. It has to be one of God's miracles. Please pray that God continues to help Chloe build and maintain friendships. Here's Nancy's response to this question, "Nancy, can you please tell me more about Marcella? Heather said Chloe has been playing with her on the playground."
Marcella is a wonderful little girl and she and Chloe are becoming great friends. Marcella is not disabled - she is a typical peer and so tender hearted towards Chloe. Today it was sweet. Marcella pushed Chloe on the swing and then Chloe pushed her. They like to sit together and Chloe is very content when she is with Marcella. I think they make a great pair. Chloe and Marcella spend a lot of time laughing and Chloe seems inspired by Marcella to use as much language as she can! I have watched as this relationship has grown and it has developed into far more than I dreamed. At reading time they sit together and yesterday they were laughing so hard. Both Heather and I loved to see them truly playing. I can't wait for you to see them with your own eyes! It's so fun to see Chloe with FRIENDS!
