thank you all for your replies...and because you are all awesome you all are on my wavelength and getting what I am trying to say despite my rambling

i suspect that alot of it is hangups from the not so great times of the last year. As you, Sagres, have mentioned, she just kinda didnt have the energy to really get out and play. play was something she stopped doing during her really hard times. her energy was so zapped.

I have always noted that she seems to be playing 'catch up'. and it is beautiful and gorgeous to see her blossom but also is confronting when we (both DH and I) realise just how much she wasnt doing ITMS.

And I suppose what i am trying to work out is the level of what is really her needing to be further nourished and what is our fear of it all falling apart again (not likely by the way!). And that is why, i kinda havent put too much emphasis on my concerns at appointments...because as far as the charts are concerned she is all on the normal path.

I'll have to pop back on...gotta pick the kids up, but yeah, this is good...I love being able to bounce it all off you guys
