Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't been around here lately. I've been real busy with school finals. Anyway... I have some great news that I would like to share.
My daughter's (2 y.o) teacher said her mental and cognitive developement was on a normal track. She showed me the proof in my daughter's scribbling. Large circles and long lines mean self-confidence. The selection of brighter colors means happiness. Since she can scribble in this manner, her teacher said that's what children w/o disabilities do at her age.
Needless to say, I am so happy :) :) :) :) :) . I just had to share this with you guys.
Take care,
Melissa

Very nice to hear.
Self-confidence is important for everybody, with or without disability. Treat your daughter as a child with normal needs and feelings. Do not emphasise her disability too much. (I and some other people have written more about these things in the "What is it like to have CP" thread.)

Hi Strawberry1,
The most important thing in the world to me is for my daughter to love herself and be happy. To me, she is normal. Her cp doesn't keep her from running with the other "rugrats" in our family (lol).
Thanks, I will read that thread again.
