I was listening this morning and just want to send a quick note to let you know as mothers we all have those moments when we are hypochondriacs about our kids. I can�t tell you how many times I have thought my daughter had leukemia because she had an unexplained fever or diabetes because she was tired. My son is 16 months old and was a late bloomer compared to his sister who walked at 8 months while he just started walking at 13 months. He didn�t crawl until late either- it was almost a year before he decided he wanted to crawl. He used to say daddy and mommy all the time and doesn�t say that now unless he is hurt or needs something. He flirts and knows how to find food (30 pounds and 32 inches tall says he hasn�t missed a meal!) We had hearing tests done because I was convinced there was something wrong- nothing wrong thank GOD. We have decided he is just stubborn and has his own timetable � which all kids do- and most of the time the timetable has nothing to do with what we think they should be doing.
Now that you are not crazy for being worried about your little girl. Now that this will not be the last time you will feel like you are doing everything wrong- it comes with the territory. You love your daughter and have her best interest at heart- that makes you a great mother right there� we aren�t supposed to get everything right. I like to say that
the decisions we make today will ensure our children have something to tell their therapists in the future =)
On a funny note- maybe the large bows on her head are weighing her down!! HAHAHA
