“I try my best”

Esther had her first Occupational Therapy (OT, fine motor) and Physical Therapy (PT, large motor) appointments today. These initial evaluations are to get a baseline of Esther's physical skills currently and before any kind of treatments begin. We have seen Esther's coordination impacted by her left eye turning in, but she is a determined little warrior princess and has already learned to adapt to her current (although not permanent 🙏🏻) situation to remain independent and as helpful as possible. Esther's optimistic motto is "I try my best."  She keeps trying, even when she has to try over and over again, until she accomplishes what someone has asked her to or what she has put her own mind to do.  Esther apologizes ("I'm sorry") to doctors, nurses, and therapists, when she makes a mistake and then says, "I try my best."
