A website for our family and friends to keep up with Mikaela and her progress with Arthrogryposis. And a little bit of Naomi too!

Today was a good day...
8.01.10
Today I brought the girls to my friends daughters 1st birthday party at the train park. It was a beautiful day, happy to have them out, but I wasn't expecting a change like I saw. As always, Naomi would be the happy go lucky baby that everyone plays with, and Mikaela wouldn't want anything to do with anyone. She's always thinking someones going to hurt her. This would be why I'm giving her time off, I want to change her attitude about life and work on her social skills.
I can see that Mikaela is starting to open up and let people in, and I was really proud. She even rode the train with me wanting to sit by herself, and even go on a second time! She laughed, she let people hold her and to me, things finally felt blissful. No crying, no giving dirty looks, (Ok well maybe a few) but I believe this break is working. All a mother wants is to see her children happy, and healthy. Today, Mikaela showed me another side of herself, and I hope to see this more often. But as for now, I'll always remember the smile on her face.
