is an incredible little girl. Her smile can light up a room. Her hugs can warm a person to the depths of their heart. All she wants is to be included and to make friends. Unfortunately most kids her age who want to play with her can't really understand her. They get frustrated and simply walk away. Nicole's cognitive ability is normal but her speech and language abilities are about 2 years behind. She also has difficulties with short term memory, oral motor movement, fine motor skills, sensory processing disorder and some autistic tendencies.
Over the last few months I have come to realize that perfection come in all shapes and sizes. My daughter also has strabismus and required surgery to straighten her eyes to correct her vision. She is still perfect to me. I my not always understand what my daughter needs and she may hit me out of frustration but she is still perfect. I've realized that I have simply had to adjust what my idea of perfection is. It is whatever God wants it to be at that moment in time. He makes the rules not me.
