But though the crazy moments may be the loudest ones, the wonderful "Wow, he / she does seem to be blossoming into a fabulous human being despite - or partially because of - my efforts" moments resonate longer.<br /><br />It IS marvelous to see your child developing into someone you would CHOOSE to know, were they anyone else. <br /><br />And I love that little house.
