Almost a month
Last month, Tara didn't know how to use a straw or a sippy cup, or even how to eat a lolipop. She had never played with a kitty or pet a dog. She had never sat in a shopping cart and picked out snacks or been to a baseball game. She had never had Chinese food or played with little neighbor friends. She had never helped wash a car in the driveway or kicked a ball in the grass. She had never looked for turtles in the woods or rabbits in the yard. She had never had a kitty greet her in the morning or a friend knock on the front door.
This Wednesday will mark four weeks that Tara Vika has been home with us. What a month, what a year, and what a life we all still have to look forward to.

Man! That's what I call making every day count!
Posted by: sally at May 16, 2005 02:54 PMI was just telling the gals here at work about Tara. They love to hear about her. We all have kids, some of us have grandkids, and we never realize the quality of life we have here in the good ol' USA. I watch how Tara looks to you Laura, for assurance, when she strikes out to investigate something. She always has one eye on you, like she thinks you are going to disappear. We don't realize how lucky we were to have moms and dads and the same caregivers from birth who looked us in the eye everyday and held us and fed us and loved us. Just something simple like that, Tara has now. She is growing inside as fast as she is on the outside!
