My daughter is like this. When she is focused on something it is her whole world. When she is hungry she is totally focused on the fact that there is no bottle in her mouth, and by gosh that better change or the whole county will hear her.
On Sunday she was in the nursery and she was around older kids (one girl that is about 5 months older and 2 preschoolers) and I could tell that E wanted so much to do what they were doing. Ever since, she was been trying so hard to roll over.
As I watch her a part of me just wants to help, but I know that this is one of those milestones that she has to be able to do on her own. With the determination that she has, she will do it soon. I can see her thinking "I can do it. I can do it." She gets frustrated when she fails to roll over, but then she tries again and she hasn't given up.
I don't want her to grow up too quickly. There is enough time to be an adult, kids need to enjoy being kids. On the other hand I know what it is like to yearn for something, to want to be able to do what you see others doing and I want my daughter to be able to accomplish her goals, not just this one, but all her future goals. I want her to continue to have the "I Can Do It" attitude. So, here's to watching E as she rolls over for the first time as that roll leads to a lifetime of future accomplishments.

Praying for y'all and that you will have an attitude that says "With Christ as my focus and His will as my life map, I can do all that I set out to do."
