My Child

Full of surprises

Rebecca is full of surprises.  Rebecca understands absolutely everything that is being said and is said. Don’t think she doesn’t. She does not tolerate people talking over her.

Our survivor and my hero

Kayla’s a triplet, and she’s our survivor.  We lost our two boys a year apart, and so she’s my hero.  She’s the bravest person in this world that I’ve ever known. She may not look at you at first, but once she gets to know you and warms up to you, you’ll see the smile, the spark in her eye.  Kayla communicates with her eyes.  When you walk in the room and you see Kayla, and she’s excited, you’ll see it in her face, in her facial expressions.  She’s always smiling.  She’s a very happy child.  She doesn’t cry unless she’s in pain or really stressed out.  We basically get Kayla to do anything and everything that we possibly can with adaptations.  So we try not to limit her.  She’s a very brave girl.  She’s been through a lot since birth--through surgeries and just different types of therapies and procedures that you or I have never been though, and she does quite well.  She’s an awesome girl.  I’m very proud of her.  Everybody loves her.  I tell everyone not to stare at her too much because you’ll fall in love.

A caring child

She is always challenging everything, is very headstrong, and is trying to always to achieve what she wants. She’s going to try to find a way to get what she wants one way or another.  She’s always trying to find a way to get what she needs to try to get her body moving. She tries to help herself, but she also tries to help others all the time. And she is very, very caring to other kids’ needs and situations if they’re disabled or not disabled. She seems to connect with people on an emotional level.
