Mommy is a little sad today and she's trying really hard to not throw a pity party for herself. She is sad because she was watching Jonah and I play. It's becoming very close to that time when Jonah is going to pass me up in lots of things and we'll switch roles. I'll be the big-little brother and he'll be the little-big brother. For example, Jonah is coming to Mommy when she calls his name. He also places small objects into appropriate holes without any effort (or literally months of therapy to do so). He's also talking more than I and he doesn't even have a speech therapist. He's even signing too without having to be shown the signs over and over.
All this makes her mad. Not mad at Jonah! But just upset that I struggle so hard to do even the simplest of tasks. So today, it's .... Why, why, why?!? Tomorrow she'll get over it. But today, the party is on.

hugs and love you guys
Oh my friend, you are in my thoughts. Both of your boys are amazing and wonderful and I can only imagine what you are experiencing right now. I am truly sorry.
Pity parties on occasion are inevitable by the way...but why are they called "parties???" They certainly are not fun!
Love you, Amy
Kristy, I wish I could reach out and give you a hug. Your boys are beautiful.
Love,

I remember those feelings. My boys are 17 months apart and my first was born weighing 2 lbs 3 oz with a severe brain hemorhage and hydrocephulus. D.K. caught up with Prophet very early on. It hurt that Prophet would struggle for months to accomplish every little thing with the help of therapy and D.K. would just do it when the appropriate time came. They are now in the same grade and Prophet still has to work much harder to accomplish the same things that D.K. just does. It's just who they are now.
You're a good mama. Thank you for sharing all your ups and downs! You'll be on my mind and I'll be prayin' for you as you have your "pity party". I hope you can feel my "cyber hug" as you read this today.
Well said Kristy!
Your honesty is much appreciated as I share your feelings. With our twins we experience those feelings each day also and it seems recently more often. Liam is almost walking by himself and Tommy is still triumping a supported sit.
You have two beautiful boys and we enjoy watching them grow up!
I'll think of you at my next pity party ;) -Sandi
