Whoops, I've not been updating my blog as much as I'd like to. Blame my rather busy schedule!
Yesterday was wonderful, because I went to HICCUPS (Hearing Impaired Children Coming Up to Primary School) which is a group for hearing and visually impaired children aged 0 to 3. I spent most of the time with Angie's deaf daughter, Mary. I think we've formed a friendship with each other, because she was a lot more interactive with me than usual.
Mary did the cutest thing! We were playing with this toy which had a door on it. I closed the door, and Mary opened it. I closed it again and Mary opened it. We repeated this a few times and then I figured out how to catch her out! I closed the door and then opened it again...which made Mary close it! Bless her! :)
It began to rain about halfway through the HICCUPS session and Mary, being adventurous as ever, went outside. Mary had her raincoat on, but I didn't have time to pop back inside to get my jacket in case she ran off. Mary ran all the way from the back to the front of the building with me stomping behind her. She could hear me approaching and squealed each time I stood right behind her (with excitement, not fear!)
Later, back in the dry again, Mary went to the play kitchen and I turned on the 'taps'. Mary held her hands underneath and began to wash her hands and dress...if only real water was flowing!

She was oh so cute. It is wonderful for her to have a relationship with someone who is so easy with her. Thank you.
