Confession - I am a Worrier

I would have never thought that about myself until I became a parent...but maybe the truth is I am just REALLY good at denying stress that I am feeling...this is where I am learning, slowly, to let things I can't change over to God.

Well yesterday was just an interview with me. So I guess now I wait for the actual evaluation of Tuki. We may even do a hearing test, just because it is available. I know if I was just patient, she will explode in her language, but I find, surprise to me, that I worry at each of her milestones. But, in my argument she has been at the high end of the averages for each. Of course adding to my anxiety. She crawled at 10 1/2 months, walked at 15 1/2 months, so why would I think she would start talking early. She probably speaks between 20 - 25 words, inconsistently. She is just now exploring with running and she is almost 20 months. She will take a digger now and then because her toes trip her up.

Yet, at the same time her fine motor skills and comprehension of what I tell her is amazing. In the morning I ask her to bring me my running shoes (she likes to help me), and she brings me the correct shoes. She will also get her sippy out of the refrigerator and then close the door, open the door to the vacuum when I tell I am vacuuming, attempt to pull it out (too heavy), but then pull out the head of the vacuum and close the door. I can ask her to do a two to three step action and she follows through really well. She likes to put things together and take them apart. She can spend 30 mins. or more doing something like that.

She learned "time out" for hitting real quickly!! I say let's change your diaper, let's put on your pj's and up the stairs she heads...She is also starting to sing her "ABC's"

So I guess I am just a worrier..mainly is there something more I should be doing to help her along. Anyway...enough rambling..

As for an update on Hawk, another family has been approved to go ahead and add him to their family along with an older sister, also at the orphanage. YEAH. God certainly has his hand on that little boy.
