Riley met the little girl across the street tonight on our way home from the neighborhood park, and guess what? They both totally love "Littlest Pet Shop" toys. Can you stand it?
We have a playdate set for Tuesday!
They scampered around the yard with their sibs for a bit while her mom and I talked, and my girl gave her new friend a big unsolicited hug before we went on our way across the street to get ready for bed.
Meeting S. was her "happy thought" (gratitude thought) after prayers tonight, even though she got a brand new bike today.
She is doing SO WELL.
Bio-med interventions, people.
Speaking of which, I'm at The Rescue Post today, talking about another great Riley moment.
My heart is happy, happy.

Love your new neighborhood! Love the bio-med interventions. Love the courage you and Riley both have. My heart is happy for you all.
Unsolicited hug? WOW! Here's one for the mama -
xo!
Yay!! A happy heart is really all you need. I've had one lately, too.
:)
someone recommended I check out your blog because I posted about the teachings of Abraham. What has been your experience?
Thanks,
Melba
P.S. My children love the Littlest Pet Shop too! They have a cute Littlest Pet Shop game on sale right now at Target. There is not a Target close to my house, but I saw it at a Target while when visiting my sister and bought it. Thought I would save it for a surprise someday.
She is doing so well! Keep up the good work, Riley and Mom! You are an inspiration to me.
And you just couldn't be any cuter in that picture!
So very happy for your family.
There are no coincidences...you are where you belong. Happy for you!
A new friend more valuable than a new bike? Whoa. Maybe it's time to take off that label. Change it from Asberger to Saint?
How fun. Great piece Michelle!
Aww, my heart is happy for you! And Riley. :)
