It has been a bit of work to bond with Elijah, he just didn't seem to know how to bond with me in the beginning and wanted only Daddy. Lately he has been a Mommy's boy and I have been really thankful to see that he has not only shown that he loves me but that he has the ability to attach to all the important people in his life. Today I was thilled when I told Elijah he could play with his Legos after he went upstairs and put his jammies on - his initial response was "NO!" but I couldn't have been happier than when I started to count . . . "1", and before I even got to "2" he got up crying but obeying me and without any more conflict. I turned to Matt and said "that is the most important sign of good attachment I have ever seen in Elijah! He agreed. I was thinking about how it must be like that with our relationship with God also . . . when we have that strong trust we obey without much of a protest . . . I hope someday God sees the same attachment in me that I saw in Elijah today! I'm so proud of Elijah!
