Malaya in her new skating outfit (Christmas Gift)
Those are words I was beginning to think I would never hear from my daughters lips. A year ago, even six months ago it wouldn't have happened. Participating in any group activities where i wasn't involved meant tears hours prior, before, during and after. It was so hard to know if I should push harder, push just a little or not push at all. I tried it all! In June I was already beginning to dread kindergarten, anticpating the months it would take Malaya to settle in. Then one day this summer she just seemed to suddenly overcome her fears. While she is still the shy one in the group, at least there are no tears. It is so comforting to walk away and know that she is going to have a good time and then later ask me - Mom is it skating day? In hopes that I will say yes.
