Lilah's Listening skills

I hope that you will watch this video and really pay attention...

Most "typical" children learn to follow directions and do as they are told at a very early age. For Lilah it takes her brain longer to process what you are asking her, what you mean, how to do those skills, and more.

This was taken tonight as we came back from our walk. She did as she was told quickly.

For me, this is absolutely HUGE.

Her brain is working. She listened, knew to turn her body, where to place her hands, she SAW it, walked closer to close the door, and more.

The "thought process" that it took her to accomplish that is extensive.

See, before Lilah I would have just thought, "great! my child followed a direction." Since having Lilah and watching her work SO hard at therapy EVERY day, (yes, she has some sort of therapy daily) I now have a greater appreciation for what it takes our brains to work.

My hope is that you will all see the miracle that is Lilah and know how awesome our God is and that He does exists and He does love us so, very much.
