A MIRACLE

Tonight we witnessed a MIRACLE!

Lilah was in the tub for her nightly bath...which she loves.

The kids usually bathe together. Lilah loves to play in the water with her brother and sisters.

Tonight, Alex and Sammie decided to take a shower. Eli and Lilah were in the tub.
When Eli decided he was done...Lilah was alone in the tub.(obviously I was right beside the tub)
She was sitting very strong, kicking her feet to make the water move...as usual.
THEN....it happened.

She began to pat the water..and stop and she watched the ripples!





She was SO excited. She has NEVER done this before!!
She was playing drums in the water...it was fantastic!!!!




I got so excited I called Aaron...asked him to go get my camera (hence the photos)
And she kept splashing.
THEN....
The best part happened.


We had just cleaned up the toys from Eli....then we decided to put some back in....and waited
Normally we hand Lilah the red "H" you see.
Normally she drops it and cannot "see" it to get it back.


We noticed her getting excited...so we waited...



What we saw next made us scream out of joy!!!


Lilah watched the toys and knew what she wanted.



She grabbed this green toy ALL by herself.
She watched it, waited, and leaned over and picked it up.





THIS is a miracle!

She saw it!
We know she did!
Miracles happen...Lilah is proof!
Many of us take for granted the small things in life...
NOT in this house....we celebrate them..each and every one!

Just stopped by from Barbara's blog. I must say I was moved by this post. Having had a preemie girl who spent two months in the NICU, I can definitely appreciate miracles, and know what it's like when they happen. All the best to you. :)
