Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Maggie, congrats! Allie also hated being read to, but now she lets me read to her all the time when she likes the book. Took about a year for Allie Kat. It might seem forever, but the successes do add up over time! I was thinking yesterday when she raced in the house so she could stand in the dining room and watch us come in from the window just how far that precious soul has come. There's a song called " Sometimes Miracles Hide " and he says something about how all the parents knew was the love they feel when they'd look into their daughter's eyes. When she looks at me with smiles and I feel we make that soul connection, nothing else in this world matters. Debi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
