I'm sure all of you are aware that Ivy can be, how shall I say, sarcastic. Yep, I think that's the right word. I'm sure you are also aware that she can stand up to anyone and let her opinions be known. Well, she definitely still has that ability...
My boyfriend, Paul, and I went to see her on Sunday. We were amazed at her progress with communication. With this new level of understanding we can ascertain what she's feeling as well.
Well, Paul was teasing about Ivy's blue hair streak, like usual. To which Ivy let Paul know how she felt about what he was saying. Instead of the finger she has been using to answer yes/no questions, she chose to use her middle one for this special response. We all jumped up to see and Melinda asked Ivy, "Are you flipping off Paul?". She started smiling really big and then started laughing hysterically.
Like I said, she's still got it!

EDIT:
Excellent post Fahey!!! I just thought I'd chip in some video. I wasn't quick enough to record the initial attack, but I was able to document the immediate aftermath. She is so pleased with herself!

Hi Ivy! It's Mrs. Buehler, Dean @ SLOHS. I miss you terribly and send postive thoughts your way daily. This blog is a great way to keep up on your great progress. Mrs. Benson came into my office yesterday and said I needed to read the blog about you flipping off Paul. She then said, "hmmmmm, don't you get suspended for that?" I cracked up and thought, "you go, Ivy. Flip away!!!" That's our girl, still got that great sense of humor. I love it. Continue to fight the good fight!!! Peace, Love, and Healing to you!!! XOXOXOXO
