Just going to school for example, knowing that isn't always a positive environment for them, is a great achievement. You are doing so well and it is good to remind yourself that. xx<br /><br />Thanks for sharing on #WASOAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12561624089930362726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210101461143370674.post-9481391315507182762014-10-18T17:44:50.592+01:002014-10-18T17:44:50.592+01:00We do a lot of these recaps.

Stopping every now and again to reflect on the problems that have passed can be really heartening.<br />I hope you're feeling optimistic now!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210101461143370674.post-16205574567344360742014-10-18T16:55:54.443+01:002014-10-18T16:55:54.443+01:00That does sound like huge progress, fantastic.

I agree with Claire that we all feel more comfortable knowing what's coming up, and 8 years in, my son is still happier when he knows what his next meal is. But then again my dad's the same and he didn't have at all the same issues in early life about where his next meal was coming from.

The wall planner ...It does sounds really positive!<br /><br />The wall planner thing - I think those kind of things are always good for any child (or), adopted or non-adopted. I think life is just easier if you know what's coming next and you can get 'ready' for it psychologically! Claire Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908564151090890168noreply@blogger.com
