...I knew I'd get past that initial sadness of waiting another month. It might have helped that we went ahead to the hospital that night to meet Camyden (and he is beautiful, with a head full of the softest hair!) or that we engaged in some retail therapy over the weekend. Either way, I'm thankful to be here, here on the other side of the anxiousness and disappointment.
This week, is much like all the others- where we forget she isn't "ours." This week, we're watching her take her first unassisted steps! She is full of joy and excitement at mastering the challenge. She is certainly a child who works hard, gets it wrong (she tried out a "monkey walk" technique that just made us laugh), becomes frustrated along the way, but perseveres to conquer her goals. It's amazing to see her forming a personality. I'm so hopeful that she is a good example of this throughout her childhood that you might work hard to get it wrong but you keep going until you've accomplished it- and accomplished it well.
I want her not only to climb mountains, but to be the fittest on the way and the first to the top. I'm guessing every parent wants that for their child...
