My little girl hurt herself. On Friday she slipped going down the stairs and tumbled head over heels down 13 steps...God must have some serious angels looking over her. The poor little thing lost two of her bottom teeth. I know that this isn't the worst thing that could have happened, but it seems so permanent. And it is. She will have NO bottom teeth longer than she will have actually had them. I am just glad that she didn't break anything! She's a trooper too. The next day she was going up and down the stairs again, with only slight hesitation. The biggest change we have noticed is she is scared that mommy and daddy are going to leave her somewhere scary, at least that's what it seems like. That innocent trust is gone and that breaks my heart into pieces. She shouldn't have to worry about those things yet.
Charlotte isn't talking either. At 18 months she should be- so we asked her doctor and he referred us to Early Intervention who will be doing an assessment in a couple of weeks.I've heard good things about them, so it should be interesting. I did run across this website Teach Me To Talk that really seems to have a lot of info and tools to help your child start talking...at any age. I'm going to start trying some of the techniques once I have brain capacity to look through the site.
In other words, "I'm in a glass case of emotion!" or more aptly, a stress bubble. Alone in my stress bubble. Things will get better, I know this. But, for now, I'm just holding on.
