It's nice to know that it's okay to feel the way I am feeling and that my fears are normal. Because everyone has been through it and we are all in this together. <BR/><BR/>I keep forgetting to ask but would you mind if I linked your blog to Sawyer's?Tarah Peacockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14926585064976037380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2410077759356467437.post-13268284057373564782008-11-18T20:12:00.000-05:002008-11-18T20:12:00.000-05:00Enjoyed your honesty in this post...for whatever r...Enjoyed your honesty in this post...for whatever reason, it makes the load a little easier to carry knowing that others are walking the same path.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02050191391678396382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2410077759356467437.post-32383888097511094212008-11-18T13:04:00.000-05:002008-11-18T13:04:00.000-05:00See, that Melissa is good for something, isn't she...See, that Melissa is good for something, isn't she?! :) I'm so glad you found other moms who are going through the same thing you are. Why does it make it "easier" to know other people are dealing with the same issues as you?

But last fall things turned a corner. AnnaKate started developing so fast and now it is so exciting to see her changing. And one thing I really enjoy is watching you with her. She is the luckiest little girl to have you as her mama. You make her play time and learning time the same.<BR/><BR/>I know in my heart that AnnaKate will surprise us all in many ways during her life. She has surprised me with something new everytime I see her. Since I don't see her everyday I see the changes in big steps. <BR/><BR/>All of us who love AnnaKate will worry about her at times but these worries will be followed by some new feat she can do and we'll lose our worries in those moments. <BR/><BR/>Guess WhoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2410077759356467437.post-76291855894792279862008-11-17T20:41:00.000-05:002008-11-17T20:41:00.000-05:00Kelly, I am so glad that you have this blog as an ...Kelly, <BR/>I am so glad that you have this blog as an outlet. You are such a wonderful parent and you are a great advocate for AnnaKate. You have really used this blog for both light hearted and serious stuff. Both are important for anyone's sanity. AnnaKate is such a fun little girl and she really is making great strides. Thanks for being honest. Reading your blog, and lurking on others like yours :), has given me a perspective that I hope will help me work with families in a more understanding manner. <BR/> <BR/>Oh, and I use your story as an example of why it is a good thing that I spend so much time looking at blogs at night!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09247393147172284047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2410077759356467437.post-30227081229020835272008-11-17T15:18:00.000-05:002008-11-17T15:18:00.000-05:00I am SO proud of you for allowing yourself to be s...I am SO proud of you for allowing yourself to be so open and for sharing your journey with all of us.

Since I hardly ever get to talk to you at school, at least I can catch up here. Not quite sure what I would put on my own blog, but maybe I could have a "Since I couldn't talk to my friends today..." blog. :)I love you!
