Too often, I am faced with people questioning me about how Adeline's development is behind that of typical three year olds. Yes, Miss Belle looks pretty good when you meet us on the street but under that social wave and priceless grin are various developmental delays. It is really hard to explain unless you spend time with her. I feel compelled to make sure others get that there is a difference. Adeline is who she is and her road is much harder than that of her sisters. She deserves credit for what she accomplishes when it is that much harder. She is doing really well and making more progress than I ever dreamed. I am so proud. But. . . there is a difference.
Here is a clip of the girls jumping over cardboard bricks. Adeline had a really hard time sticking the landing without the use of her outstretched hands on the floor. Lila, jumped much higher than I ever thought she could. Savannah put Adeline's in a tizzy because Adeline thought Savannah fell when she landed. (Another new addition to her sensory issues is that Adeline always thinks people are falling which really stresses her out.) What I love the most is how Savannah and Lila were cheering Adeline on and how Adeline reciprocated for Lila.
