Miss Jessica's Visit

Miss Jessica, a former teacher at My Gym and a family friend is visiting from Washington. She came last night and had a sleepover with Quinn in the tent (in the basement). That meant lots of reading of books. Today, Quinn and she spent the morning doing crafts in the craft room. Quinn is in heaven. All of this adult attention being sent his way. He is going to be very sad when it is time for her to leave.

Chloe calls Miss Jessica, "girl". "Mommy, is that girl awake?" "Watch me jump girl." It's quite cute and she can say Jessica when she tries. Jessica is amazed by Chloe's speech progress. She visited in September and has a video on her camera of us trying to get Chloe to say "sorry". One little word! Now, just 3.5 months later she can say sentences (okay, so they aren't perfect but she can definitely communicate). Remember, she started The Listening Program on October 6. What an answer to our prayers!

We are so glad (and surprised) that Jessica wanted to spend time in our chaotic but loving home! Now...we have to get Miss Emily (another former My Gym employee) to visit us - she just left the gym and we are so sad. Why do these girls have to graduate and get career jobs? Isn't acting like a 3 year old all day enough?
