A bit of backstory on this one. In June, I attended a women's Bible study at our church with an interesting speaker who strongly urged us to pray for (in detail) the visions that meant most to us. At the time, I offered up a heartfelt prayer that I would one day watch Sam do ballet.
In August, Ally joined this dance class at her school. Only 3 kids were in it at the time - Ally, Sam's best friend Bailey, and one other little girl. I asked the teacher if she'd consider letting Sam do a trial since the class was so small and she was open to the idea.
She has really encouraged Sam and treated her just like the other girls, and I really think that's largely responsible for some of her recent gains. In fact, it was after watching what she could do in dance class for Ms Nikki that we started really encouraging her to try walking alone rather than with her walker. That was right before Thanksgiving.
And, without further ado, here's how that's going.
