Acceptance

Why do I have so much trouble accepting compliments? I have had a great time hanging out with Maria this week. What a fantastic lady! She adores Delanah, and I believe the sentiment is mutual, and we have had some great days together. She often makes comments on what a great disposition Delanah has, and I typically follow up with a comment of my own to the fact that Dave and I got lucky, and her reply is that it has something to do with how she is being raised. What an awesome compliment, but I have such a hard time accepting this praise. I don't know why.
Another issue I am having...correcting people when they pronounce, or spell, Delanah's name incorrectly. If it's a stranger, no issues, but with people I know and like, why do I have a problem? Tonight we were at Bruce and Nancy's for dinner and Nancy kept saying "de-lay-nuh". It was just too awkward to correct her...this after she went out and bought a booster seat especially for Delanah to enjoy her meal in! How fantastic is she?! I need to grow some and just start being the advocate for Delanah that I need to be. I'm learning!!!!
