Finnian's Journey: HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

"Y'all - don't miss it. Don't get so caught up in what your sweet baby is doing or not doing. Don't obsess about this step or the next step or the one after that or what is going to happen twenty years down the line. Because one day you'll look at baby pictures and think about how adorable that baby was and how all you can remember is therapy and you can't even remember what her hair smelled like.

So, ENJOY your baby. It doesn't matter when they walk or crawl or talk. It matters that they are here and that you love them and that they know it.

Just don't miss it."

Cheri said...: Happy New Year Lisa.....let's make this year the year we finally make that 20 minute drive and get our boys together :)....honestly I don't think we live much more than that away from each other. Our schedule is lightening up now that Reid turned 3 and we do not have as many therapies....we'll work around your schedule if you are interested in a play date! :)

Anonymous said...: Hi Lisa. Came across your blog for the first time today. I'm the mom of a young teen living with mild cognitive impairment. My husband wrote a great piece in the Wall Street Journal last month that I wanted to share with you.
Happy New Year and keep speaking up about the R word. It's the only way to make a change, one person at a time.
