The most beautiful flower

"Sometimes the most beautiful flower in the garden takes the longest to bloom."



That simple little statement brought a smile to my face this afternoon and gave me confidence in pushing forward with Callie after these first two weeks of school. What a daily struggle reading lessons have been. It seems to be just as much about her attitude as about the difficulty of overcoming signs of dyslexia. We are pressing on, and I love the days when a hug follows a great lesson. Those make up for the countless days when my only reward is her furrowed brow.



You can do it, sweetheart. Mommy believes in you. And, remember, "I'm gonna out-love you," no matter what!!
