It is such a time waster! Yes, Ellie will talk in her time. You know she understands. You are so right. Each small step is a cause for celebration. One of one.. What a blessing!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02396027877128197231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076852815832991284.post-91057368708334912922013-01-20T22:30:44.962-05:002013-01-20T22:30:44.962-05:00Beautifully written and spot on!

It is so hard not to compare our children to other children and I often find myself doing the same with Ellie--comparing her to other children with Ds. Then I take a step back and compare her to Ellie. Ellie was silent 11 months ago. Silent. Now she says 7 words. She hums when she is happy. She tries to make sounds. That is amazing progress. That is something to celebrate. All in Ellie's time. All in Katie's time. Excellent post, Donna!Anna Theurerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06937391910402532608noreply@blogger.com
