Hitting Her Bells :)

Here is a video of Emmalin working hard in therapy at school.  Although it is kind of hard to see.  Emmalin has 2 objects hanging above her and Emmalin's vision teacher is asking Emmalin to hit her bells (which is one of the 2 objects).  This may not seem like a big deal, but it has just been over the past 2 months (or so) that Emmalin has started to consistently show us that she understands what someone is asking her to do, but more than that, she can do what is being asked of her.  Emmalin is at the very beginning of all of this, but it's a start and we are SO excited!!  The other thing that may not seem like a big deal is that Emmalin not only finds the bells like she is asked (which is the first "command"), but then she is asked to touch them - and DOES IT (command #2).  Emmalin's shoulder's are not very strong and so it REALLY takes a lot for her to be able to get her arm where she wants it so she can hit the bells.  Today, Emmalin was able to "get her bells" with a lot more control (consistently).  So again, although this video may not seem like a lot to most people, here Emmalin follows TWO different commands!!  This is a HUGE step!!  Jarrad and I are SO proud of her!
