I feel like most of what I have to say is the same thing over and over. Ayden Jane is doing great, but still has a lot to catch up on. She can understand more, learn more, move more... but her starting point is several years behind.
It's entirely exciting and amazing.
It's entirely painful and frustrating.
There are so many great moments.
Her coach noticing the change in her this spring and commenting that she seems to be "outgrowing the quirks she had from whatever that thing is called I told her Ayden Jane has."
The parent of a friend we haven't seen since last fall telling me, she must have learned a lot and worked hard in third grade, They had a great conversation.
Doing pretty stinkin' well in her first swim meet moving up to swimming 50's with turns!
A grandparent and medical professional saying, "Ayden Jane's swimming looks great this summer. Her whole body is so much more organized."
Watching her make friends with a sweet girl on the swim team who simply offered encouragement and friendship. Next thing I know they are chatting away and slip off to play hopscotch.
Reading the book Wonder with her and being amazed by her insight into the characters feelings and motives.
Then there are the times where the amount of information she can take in, multiplied by the depth she wants to understand, divided by the square root of the number of questions humanly possible ... makes my head hurt.
I am sure it must be overwhelming in that brain and body. So much new information coming in. So much to organize....
Go sweet Ayden Jane go. The determination, the love of learning, the joy of life. So much fun to watch.
