This is so good, Amy. I appreciate you mentioning disabled children and acknowledging that the markers and stages may be very different -- but you're absolutely right, the circumstances may not change, but we do.
Thank you so much, Jeannie! You were one of the wise and more experienced parents I was thinking of as I wrote this. Seeing how you navigate those challenges, even from my limited perspective as an internet friend, has been so encouraging to me.
Aw, thank you Amy. Right now we are dealing with sleep issues that make me feel like I’ve reverted to the early stage of parenting! So I guess we do change, I just didn’t know it would be backward… (ha ha). Anyway, thanks for the kind words and I’m grateful we can show solidarity no matter what stage of the parenting journey we’re at.

I remember those days! Always good to savor the small wins along the parenting journey. And yes, distraction can be a parent's best friend.
Loved this! As a Gramma now, I look back and your words resonate. Thanks for this😌
