Not having another child to compare the experience with, I have to think that they take so much for granted. When I've had conversations with my friends who only have "typical" children, and mention all the intricacies involved in doing some of the most "mundane" things (ie. speaking, walking, etc.) they have always said, surprised, "Oh! I had no idea about all of those steps, we never really thought about it!" I think it gives us so much more reason to celebrate the small stuff, whenever our child reaches that goal. Nothing is too small or too mundane. Samantha feels real pride in her accomplishments, especially when we tell her how truly proud we are.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963099760885760598noreply@blogger.com
