I had to learn to appreciate him for exactly who he is and not cry for what he isn't. That's not to say I don't still have moments. I just decided that Alex is who he is and he will wow me and the world in is own way.Madness Modifiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17516409579872613715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6613098443917855826.post-81215813544068144332012-07-29T03:28:44.972-07:002012-07-29T03:28:44.972-07:00You are changing worlds with her help through your...You are changing worlds with her help through your calling & blogging with purpose. She will blossom in your light. One boy has a profound change by moving to a house with a few stairs he has to walk past regularly.

You will find balance, make time to pursue that goal for yourself! All ten year olds get out of balance at times & remember puberty & I bet moodiness is generally not delayed. Think back to your own shifting mind those years--communication might be easier with the right tools at her age & maturity PLUS her moms excellent intuition & guidance. Accept & embrace her where she is like you do but it might be your dreams not her own pathPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301340414658686677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6613098443917855826.post-75997295368937098462012-07-29T03:16:27.775-07:002012-07-29T03:16:27.775-07:00And that's okay.

Reading may help: www.sohappytolearn.com. Reading gives structure & context to wanting to talk, motivation. Seems crazy but it works. Signing does NOT work for everyone but try a handful or say three signs that would help her & you.Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301340414658686677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6613098443917855826.post-11929335541985072012-07-28T07:08:55.548-07:002012-07-28T07:08:55.548-07:00hugs. and thanks for sharing.

And what better post than this one? My girl's only 4 (tomorrow) but I'm starting to see it. Or rather, not hear it- she's still non verbal. And the widening gaps are evident at the pool, at the park, & next year it'll be jammed in our face when we start talking about Kindergarten. You're right. I try to revel in HER, but sometimes.... it's hard.
