I can't even tell you how many times she's sitting and waiting in the car before I can get myself together. Mornings are a million times better and this is a kid with some processing delays. So, training and then practice with love and patience coming from the big people in your life...nothing better. And, I'm a totally impatient and gnarly mother, to boot. It can be done!

This morning she decided that she wanted to take a few pieces in to give to teachers at school. It was so wonderful to watch her as she handed them out. She took so much pride in herself when she told them that she made them all by herself and wanted to share with them. There was also a look of surprise on the teachers face when she said she made it all by herself. I realized last night, while watching MomTV, that the reason why the girls were such a handful over the weekend is that they were rattling the playpen wanting to learn to do more. Yesterday was much better because I was letting them learn to do the things they wanted to learn to do, making their playpen bigger. Thanks for the perspective.
