Can't wait to see pics whenever you get around to posting them. Good to hear about the anxiety being a family trait.

I could see that being a possible double whammy. Wil write you privately on my daughters issues. OH and possible anxious AND adopted? I could see that being a possible double whammy.

Yes, anxiety disorder is common in my family. My aunt has it, I have it, my daughter has it. Without knowing that (and they did not nor did I since my offiicial onset and diagnosis wasnt until I was in my 30s) my daughter and her adoptive parents could easily think it was adoption or something else being wrong with her. I was an extremely anxious child, I had/have IBS. I was/am shy (which people find hysterical). So yeah, glad you checked with Pennie. I can give some good resources on parenting an anxious child. True to my nature I have researched and read up a storm on this in an effort to learn how I could handle it within myself and also my sons. Glad to hear it went well (minus the ants).
