Growing through difficulties (especially a difficult child)
Posted on July 22, 2009 | 5 CommentsSubmitted by Eunice (September 2007) Our firstborn, Elijah, was a relatively “easy” child – healthy, and never gave us a lot of reason to worry. Our second son, Micah, on the other hand, in his first 15 months of life, provided for me many vivid... -
