Dallas talking

               I wanted to post a video so you can see how unintelligible yet adorable her talking is.

Embracing this!!

My husband and I were talking the other day about "normal" kids and parents. We were thinking how they probably complain why their kids can't do things other kids do and constantly compare them which seem perfectly normal. I was saying that I don't think I will ever have to say that because we know why she can't do a lot of the other things "normal" kids do. However, I don't say those things in envy or malice I figure these are the cards we have been dealt we can't change so I try to embrace it. It makes me sad when I see other parents struggle with it and wish I had some sort of words of encouragement to help others embrace this. I am a religious person and I believe that in our pre-existence before we were born we chose these difficulties and problems up in heaven. I once heard a story of a family who had two severally handicapped little boys. They had a blessing revealing that up in heaven they served at generals to God in the pre-existence. When they were to be born they were born this way so that it would be harder for Satan to corrupt these little boys. I look at things this way. Maybe these little girls were important up in heaven and thats why they were born this way. I talked to my bishop about these things and he said "God must trust you a lot to give you these trials and these two little girls." I felt really blessed and grateful when he said that, "trust you a lot" that really hit me hard. I wouldn't trade them for anything else. It's great that every little thing they do like hold their head up is a cause for celebration in our household.
