As always, it's hard to get a picture of Jasmine's face outdoors. Here she is on the trail with her cane. It wasn't a good cane day. She was copying her brothers' behavior of whacking things with their walking sticks instead of finding the path with it. At least at Roxborough the paths are fairly flat and sandy rather than rocky and unpredictible. She still has the tendency to ask to be carried when the ground is uneven and I have to insist that she walk. This day she eventually settled on letting me be her guide rather than using her cane. She did walk close to a mile which is very impressive on uneven ground -- that in itself takes a lot out of her. We walked about a mile and a half, in about two and a half hours.
Jasmine really participated in this Halloween. Last year's she was still getting used to being with us, eating regularly and walking. Jasmine did a great job saying Trick-or-Treat and Thank you or Bye-Bye. Now she regularly says, "Candy?" She has gotten exceptionally good at getting her brothers to share whatever they have after she scarfs hers down. They're sweet and she's simultaneously shameless and cute.
