So I just read this term "inchstones" and it really stuck with me.
My girl's accomplishments are marked in inchstones, not milestones.
She has not met one milestone or milemarker, or whatever the pediatricians call it.
She's on her own time schedule. We hope one day she'll crawl, she's been so close for so long, but just doesn't have the arm strength and her arms and legs coordinated and working together yet.
This week's inchstones are her new big girl bed and the possible retirement of the sippy cup. She's been on a drink strike for about a month and a half and yesterday we tried out a new cup. She seemed to do well with it so we'll see where this takes us and what our next inchstone will be.
