Mom was up early working on standing, walking and language. She was doing well with simple yes or no questions when she rolled her eyes at the silliness of them. Then she said "skip." "skip." until the speech therapist moved on to the next exercise.

The staff didn't realize they dressed her in her pajamas today and she got a lot of compliments on her pretty pink outfit.

She was resting and watching television when this volunteer came around to play a game of catch with the patients. Everyone was so tired after therapy that she mostly just hit people in the face with the ball.  The ball landed on mom's lap when her eyes were closed, so she rested her head on it and used it for a pillow. When the volunteer moved on to the next person, mom said "she isn't very good at this".

Today there are 15 finches, by tomorrow there could be 20!
