I think I would have a hard time talking about that horrible time with a smile. Good job!<BR/><BR/>I hope she continues to recognize how special and strong she is!!<BR/>Thanks for sharing this.<BR/>-PattyThe Hull Munchkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05331288084181649305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9875218.post-23709208003222047822009-01-09T22:51:00.000-05:002009-01-09T22:51:00.000-05:00I love the response you gave to Elizabeth.

It's something I need to work on, too. Elizabeth is a beautiful girl! I'll bet she'll forget allabut the nose thing, too. <BR/><BR/>You might have some advice to add to my blog post today, it's advice for moms of young kids with special needs. http://lovethatmax.blogspot.com/2009/01/what-i-wish-id-known-when-max-was-baby.htmlEllen Seidmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01433429847255621203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9875218.post-31437060701116664592009-01-08T14:46:00.000-05:002009-01-08T14:46:00.000-05:00Children take their cues from their parents intiti...Children take their cues from their parents intitially. At her age now, the reassuring response you gave her on her nose is the best response, I think. <BR/><BR/>Probably, her nose does not bother you. However, "my heart will be breaking" indicates her gait bothers you already. It will bother her, too, if she perceives your discomfort. I encourage you to fake reassurance even if you do not feel it. <BR/><BR/>Very likely, several years will pass before she ever questions why she walks differently - by which time, her gait might be much improved from what it is now. Her gait might continue to improve into her teens - something else you can tell her. <BR/><BR/>She might never question her gait. I've worked with several teens with gait differences who are disinterested in correcting their gaits. Doesn't matter to them. <BR/><BR/>I'm hoping to encourage and reassure you - not negate your feelings. You might quit worrying (heart-break) about the day her next question comes - same as you no longer look for a place a to vomit.
