Jessica is doing great in her new routine! She LOVES going to school on the bus and coming home each afternoon! On Sundays, she attends church with the family. She has received two Bibles now both in Chinese and English. She is learning to say prayers for mealtimes and during family devotions. After four practice sessions, she has learned to recite the Lord's Prayer in American Sign Language! We are truly amazed at how quickly our precious little girl is processing language! This week, she got her hearing aids at the deaf school and excitedly raised her hand with each new sound she was able to hear! We don't yet know if she will be able to understand speech with her hearing aids, but she will be able to know when sounds are happening around her. She will likely be able to turn to her name when it is called near her. She is very motivated and eager to learn many new things. It is a joy to see her develop! She is already saving money in a savings account so that she might one day be able to fly back to China and see the people she loves from her younger years. We are so pleased that she has such positive feelings about her connections before coming to her forever family. She has a spot of her very own. We adore this little addition to the Cram Family! Thanks to so many who have continued to pray for all of us during this time of adjustment and discovery! Mama Cram for all the Cramkids' Crew!
