Attaching

Holy cow what a difference. In the last couple of weeks there has been a major shift in how L reacts to us. She is very cuddly with me (and us). She willingly gives us kisses. She doesn't stray when we are out in public. Last week in therapy she only wanted to sit in my lap and not the therapists. And the kicker, yesterday my best friend stopped by and L did not run up to her, would not give her a hug, and really didn't want anything to do with her. With a biological child you would be coaxing them to approach your friends. When you have an older child you are oh so excited that they don't.
