I just want to say that this girl really brings so much joy in my life and not one day goes past without me breaking out in laughter because of her doings. She really is special.
Something major happened over the weekend that really made my world turn with happiness and pride! Sterretjie was sitting on her perch in the kitchen and I was busy cooking food. I dropped a bowl with freshly grated coleslaw and it was all over on the floor. I had to take out the broom to clean up the mess and something in the back of my mind told me to not remove Sterretjie first. (She is TERRIFIED of brooms.) I took the broom and swept all around her - I was trembling inside with anxiety. She did not 'fly' away, she did not even scream, she just sat there big eyed and stared at the broom!!!!!!!!
This is HUGE progress!!!! It took 9 months to get her over her broom fear! I am so proud of her. Small steps everyday, maybe one day her past will be completely behind her.
