**Disclaimer** I got Nadia's permission to share this...

In therapy today Nadia did sand art. The black sand represents her past trauma and the rest of it represents how she has covered the past with happy things.

The path represents feeling safe to come to mom and dad about anything. ...

There is her siblings

There is Christ in front of disabled people and she said that it represents that Christ loves everyone and he sees them as being perfect.

The rest is nature because she loves the outdoors.

This is a very well thought out piece of art that she worked on in therapy today. She is very thoughtful and the part about Christ made me cry. This folks tells me that we are doing something right as parents.

 

Nadia is a very well adjusted kid despite her past.

She is very well spoken.

She worries about others and how they feel.

She is soft hearted.

She is always quick to help others.

She is very mature in her thoughts and can communicate those thoughts very maturely.

She is a great kid and we love her to pieces and are thankful that she is ours.

 

We have ice in the freezer for the first time in a year and I am so very excited about it.

 

After therapy we went to Joe's parents because tomorrow is Joe's dads birthday. Because we were already up north for therapy we stopped by today that way we don't have to go back up there tomorrow. The kids had a good time spending an hour there.
