Dancing in the water trough

Jewel and Raven standing up together.

Dec 2010

This is Raven holding Jewel up by the arms. They are standing in the horse's water trough. After cleaning, we fill up the water, cold water, and Jewel has so much fun and doesn't realize that she is working on her standing. The cold water stimulates her, and helps give input. They sing and she stands with bare flat feet, as long as they are having fun, she stands!! We do not do this often but it is so amazing to see them, for a moment Jewel is just a girl playing with her sister, and the disability is not visible. I drink this moment in and freeze it in my mind. My heart is full of hope.
