getting caught



Little Afton has a history of being quite the daredevil.

She climbs on things and...
wait for it, wait for it, wait for--
JUMPS!

Luckily Janelle [her mom] makes sure she is there to catch Afton.

Sometimes Afton pretends that she doesn't know her mom is there.

But she does know.

And so do I.

Today we had a big planning meeting with all Janie's teachers and therapists.
Weeks ago I told Janelle she was welcome to come and sit in on the meeting [since she used to do things like that for a living and it's always nice to have her expertise around, plus I just thought she might enjoy it... it's a teacher thing.]

A few days ago we learned that Jason wouldn't be able to come to the meeting.
I wasn't too worried.
Janelle would be there.

And she was.

She quietly kept Janie entertained for the whole meeting.
Everyone could see that Janelle had a special way with Janie
and other special little ones.
They called her an angel.

My thoughts exactly.
