It’s amazing when you see a child make strides. Last week, we decided to put a “different” shirt on our daughter. You see, the only shirts she’ll wear are those skin tight ones made for working out and skiing, racer-back tank ones in the summer, mock turtlenecks with long sleeves in the winter. Hubby said, “They’re too small now, get me a regular shirt.” So I went ahead and did that, and she wore it at our outings. (Still not in the car, we’re not there yet!)
So I tried a few days in school. I had mixed results but that’s better than NO results! Then, the other day, I came upstairs to see her doing this:
Got a pajama shirt and buttoned most of it herself:
I helped a little but she was pleased with the results:
This is her, actually admiring herself and I think complimenting her good looks:
Good things really do happen in this house 🙂

Being a parent is very challenging and I believe that every challenge we experience happiness and sadness. I learn so many things here in your blog about parenting and I really love to read it.
