It’s a madhouse this morning – T-minus 45 minutes until the big moment! I sat down for a quick quiet minute with Jamie and asked (in sign language) “YOU WANT OUT THERE?” pointing to the outdoor area door. She bobbed her head and to my surprise, she signed OUT! We have seen her sign a few things, but OUT was a first!
More soon!
How fantastic is that?! Jamie , I’m sure is expressing everyone’s opinion. I will be thinking of all at 10:15. Will they get to sleep out there if they want to?
that is so amazing .. what a smartie!
thanks Sarah for this quick update .. we all can’t wait to hear & see more!
GO JAMIE!
omg….THAT BROUGHT CHILLS TO MY WHOLE BODY…………..I am so excited…I wish I were there to watch and cry and laugh and pray and wonder?????????????????XOXOXOXOXO
I am checking my computer every 5 minutes….I am so hooked on these 7 souls of Cle Elum…they have brought so much joy to me since I found these blog!!!! I do not even have words, except I wish we could help them all get to this type of peace!!!!!!!!
The weather here in the upper county couldn’t be any better for their first day “out”. The sun is shinning and there a few white fluffy clounds. Enjoy CE7………..
Oh….I’m just tickled!!! So excited to see the first pics…and hear the play-by- play from their wonderful caregivers. I’m so happy for you…that you get to share in their joy. Another wonderful day in Cle Elum.
Oh how wonderful. I have tears in my eyes and a seriously quivery tummy! I didn’t know any of the chimpanzees signed……that Jamie told you so clearly she wanted out is ….I can’t think of a word for how moving that is! Darling Jamie. Enjoy your day out today!
Jamie never ceases to amaze me. What a day!!!! I cannot wait to see them outside.
Thank you so much, Sarah, for taking the time to tell us about Jamie signing her/their wishes… adds to the excitement to hear that they are as excited as we all are!
I am so happy for them! What a great day!
Sarah ~ can you teach the chimps sign language for “love” so that we can tell them that we love them?
