Butterfly kisses

Annie was a yeller today for her therapists--she pretty much hollered for all three of them. Not good for your ears, but indicative of her desire to control her environment. (More dynamic behavior!)

I came in to the living room this afternoon when she was having a more calm moment, and her little mouth curved up into a smile when I greeted her. Annie doles out these smiles so sparingly, that when she DOES smile, it's a red-letter day. So there I was, so happy that she was smiling at me that I knelt down to give her a kiss. I said, "Annie, can I give you a kiss? I love it when you smile at Mommy." And just then, she pursed her lips and made a kissing noise to me!

That'll keep me going for at least a week.
