Goodnight

Today was a rough day. Ben was a little off today which means I am a little off which means the family is a little off. I think it is a combination of teething and learning something new. With my babies it seems that when they learn something new they fall a little backward in another area. Ben is learning to crawl and we finally have him scooting backward. Ben's development has been more closely following his adjusted age rather than is actual age. When a baby is born early, the adjusted age is their age from the due date not the birth date. At times I freak out and worry because Ben is 10 1/2 months and not crawling but at the same time I have to remember Ben is his own person and he has done everything in his own time. He is completely different from his brother and sisters and has done all the milestones at different times, even when you factor in his adjusted age. I love Ben and am so thankful that my Heavenly Father trusted me with raising him here on earth.
