that is so true. i used to stress about the silliest things - like what avery should wear to preschool. to think i actually "fought" with a three year old over clothes. wisdom and patience and acceptance are hard earned rewards for parents, and well worth the wait.

Thanks so much Carmen, hearing other mum's angst with their own kids weight makes you feel not so alone. Poor Eva is still trying to catch up on the first 6 months of life when she was so sick and in hospital for so long. She will get there.

Everybody seems to always have an opinion on kids weight. Grace used to be in the 90th percentile and then she hit a year and dropped to the 50th. The Dr. actually questioned me as to whether or not I was feeding her properly (and myself for that matter!). She is still only between the 25th and 50th and yet people tell me 'oh she must be a good eater' and 'I love how chunky she is'. If only they actually KNEW her weight :) I have learned all we can do is offer them healthy food, and they get to choose how much of it they will eat. Eva looks like a good strong healthy girl - you are doing a great job!

Oh man, its so amazing to hear / read you say / write that. She is doing so well, she is so happy and SO loved (omg, she is just everybody's favourite). She will do this with your help and no amount of wishing and hoping will make her do this faster (or with less heartache). She's such a fabulous child, I know Bec and I look forward to seeing her.

I hope you're not making me something with those materials. While I think they are nice, they're just not my colours.
