Noah’s Best of All
Noah participates in Virtual Language Music N Our Peeps (LMNOP). His mom shares his story and the impact of GiGi’s Virtual Playhouse.
“We love the virtual LMNOP classes! Noah is only 7 months old, and he is one of 4 children, so to say life can get hectic is an understatement, and to have the option and accessibility to pop on to a computer and engage with him and others has proven to be a wonderful option for us!”
best of all is continual, measurable, celebrated and it never ends. It is a daily challenge to do a little better than you did the day before and it’s always celebrated.
“So far, our “best of all” moment is EVERY moment. As corny as that might sound, from all the uncertainty we have had from Noah’s prenatal diagnosis, to his heart surgery, to overcoming Covid and RSV, we simply celebrate every little thing he does, whether it’s tracking objects, grabbing and transferring toys, trying new foods, or completing an entire LMNOP class without having to stop or break focus. Every “routine” moment with Noah is a “best of all!
We enjoy GiGi’s for everything it represents! Inclusion, compassion, growth, understanding and most of all FUN! To engage in an activity with other typical and atypical children and their families is a gift and a reminder that we are not alone, and that we are a mighty community of fierce love and determination!”
