New Found Freedom

This week we received a wonderful delivery...power wheels for Molly. And with this delivery came...independence! freedom! speed! learning! and a little disobedience...
It was oh so sweet to see our Molly, who has been so dependent on us to carry her or push her to where she wanted to go, take off and zip around the neighborhood.  First stop, show off her fancy chair to the neighbors.  Next stop, race brother around track at high school..and WIN! Then, off to try going down ramp at school and cross in the crosswalk.  Next, it was off to see our cute dog neighbor, Abby.  Then, it was exploring the yard...until...mom ruined the fun for dinnertime! 

It has been so fun to see her peak in drawers that have never been opened, take game boxes off shelf to examine, and bring dishes to kitchen counter after dinner.

It has also been a learning experience in obedience and lessons to be learned...how to cross a street, how to stop when told to stop, how to come when asked, and how to ask when wanting to go somewhere....but I will take these life lessons anytime to see the look of accomplishment on this beautiful face when arriving at a destination all on her own!! 

Happiness, triumph, and a 10 year old independent attitude!

Thank you Muscular Dystrophy Association for opening a whole new world for our sweet gal!
