I think Miss Y understood that. About a week after we returned home, she started making her bed. She had been throwing the covers in the general direction of the head of the bed. We had decided not to make a big deal about the bed at this time, since we had just arrived home 8 days earlier.
Well, it took Miss Y a LOT longer than normal to get dressed after breakfast this particular Saturday (5/5/12). When she finally came back downstairs, seriously, 20 minutes later, and dragged me back up the stairs (this kid is strong!), I found out what she had been doing. Imagine my surprise and joy when I saw this:
You should have seen Miss Y's face! She was beaming with pride! Isn't it beautiful??? She does this daily. Due to her disability, it takes her much longer than it takes you and I. And yet, she continues to do this daily.
She keeps her room quite tidy. I'm sure this is because of her upbringing, but it is still nice to see her take such responsibility and care for her room and possessions.
I am one proud Mama. :)
