Ella is 16!

Another year.

Quite amazing that 16 years have gone by…

Ella is 16 and is continuing to maintain the world record for longest consecutive  stretch of time a human has held a good mood.
She has made progress in every aspect. She is confident, curious, involved and always game to be part of the program.

This year she has been busy will all kinds of activities. A sports program, a youth movement, reading/writing tutor sessions, a dancing group. She also participated in a program where once a week she spent the night outside of the home after school, till the next day. Once every few weeks she has a sleepover weekend. Busy.

This upcoming year holds a huge change for all of us. Both exciting and terribly frightening…  Ella will be moving to a living arrangement outside of the home. It is a wonderful place and Ella is very excited to go. A life changing event. I have no doubt she will flourish there. The question is… will we survive?

Ella is 14!

This is quite amazing. Ella is 14.

Easily breaking the world record, Ella celebrates 14 years of good mood.

How she does this with the ridiculous amount of challenges on her plate…. and all she has been through…  I don’t get.

Always excited for what lays ahead, keenly tracking the schedule, the plan.

It is very encouraging to see the progress she has made on all fronts and the joy she brings to whoever is around her.

Still… the challenges of the future often keep me up at night.

But… the next morning I always get a cheerful ‘Good morning Aba’ from her…

Ella has recently taken to tolerating and sometimes even enjoying Zoe around her. Zoe has no ambivalence about this.
