My Heart Swelling with Pride

I'd like to take a moment to try to explain to you why these 2 pictures make me so very proud:

If you know Shyla at all, you know that she is timid and easily intimidated by groups, noise, and chaos.  We are currently involved in Vail Soccer Nights and have continued with weekend tennis lessons.  These two photos show my sweet Shyla participating in groups, by herself, and doing great!  It is so hard to explain but I am so very proud of the great gains she had made in this area.  It leaves me with that feeling that every parent wants to feel …. that she's going to be alright!
