More Than Just Luck

I was talking to the daycare director the other day, and she was saying how happy Elmer was.  She said, "You got lucky with him." 


I do believe that some of it is luck.  He is such a good-natured, sweet baby.


But some of it is NOT luck.  There have been definite changes in Elmer from Day 1 until now, and I believe a lot of the reason for that is that I am doing many things right. 


Meeting sensory needs, and developmental activities, and snuggling, and swaddling, and smiling/laughing, and loving. 


I will concede that I lucked out with the first three children I had because they were all so good from the beginning.  But I have seen such changes in Elmer that I believe this is more than just luck.
