Celebrating the heart of my little girl...


Sydney- the girl with the huge heart! 
A story told by my mother, Joanna Rogers.

Had a wonderful grandparent-teacher conference for Sydney today. I am very thankful that she is excelling across the board and using her gifts and talents wisely. What has really stuck with me, though, is that her teacher said there are t
wo boys with autism who join their class for lunch. Sydney volunteers daily to walk one of them to the cafeteria and help him navigate the maze. She told her teacher the first time, "Don't worry, I know what to do," as she walked away with the young man. I am thankful for the heart Sydney has for those who struggle and so very very pleased. What a blessing she is.

Sydney- Luke's Big Sister
Sydney loves her brother Luke. She loves to fall asleep with him. When I have spoken to Sydney about Luke's differences, she really didn't feel that it was a big deal. She loves him just the way he is. Logan and Gracie love Luke also, but with Sydney, it is different. She and Luke understand each other. She has figured out how to communicate with him in his language.
