Faith's first...

Yesterday was a big deal for our little girl.

Her friend from Girl Scouts (a third grader, mind you) came home to play with her, last night. She had her first friend over! Now some of you may be shocked but Faith does have family friends over and family kids over but this was her first....outside friend!

A friend that she made, on her own, who does not have to be nice to her because she is family or a close family friend...

This is the same little girl whose daddy made the beautiful horse for Faith's birthday. The same little girl who is so possessive over Faith. She has been begging for weeks to come home with Faith and we finally worked out a time, after their cookie sale last night. It was good because she was only able to stay for about an hour and fifteen minutes since Faith had to go to bed. It was just enough time for them to get to play but not for Faith to get overwhelmed or worn out. They read together, played kitchen, played in her room on her bed and ate girl scout cookies (Lemonades, if you were wondering...) together. It was the cutest thing ever!

When it came time to leave, her little friend said "I'm gonna ask my momma if I can spend the night with Faith one night"
Yes, friends, I was bawling my eyes out by then...

She got to see Faith get her night time medicines thru her feeding tube, get dressed for bed and have her diaper changed and she didn't bat an eye! Acted like it was nothing at all!

Then today at our second booth sale she came running up to Faith and hugged her and said " I wanna come home with Faith today!"

Ok everybody, you can all pull out your hankies and have a good cry, now....
