20 months is the age Norah was when she came to live with us
20 months is the age Sarah is now
I got this right?
I know this age
Now that I have had Maya & Norah from this age forward it should be a breeze with Sarah or at least a little more familiar
It is, yet it totally isn't
this experience we have had is unlike any other
I can tell you it is soo soo soo different knowing how to handle a 20 month old when you have had them for the past 20 months
Handling a 20 months old, who you have only seen a handful of times, who lived states away and was completely familiar with a different life, is a different story
it is just harder
you don't know their quirks
why they say or do certain things
you haven't seen them change and develop, transform from being a baby into a little person
you don't always know what their cry means or what foods they do or don't like
you don't know who their favorite little friend is or was
and lots of it
