HIGH TEN!!!Re: Our Children

[Guest guest]

Happy everyone at least got a laugh today...as Charlie Chaplin would say " A day

without laughter is a day wasted " ....

Kerri - I did want to say also I hope you don't feel that everyone is saying you

were wrong for the way you felt. Cause your not, everyone has to deal with

things differently but you should know you are not alone and everyone has there

dark days... just keep your head up.

Its true , we have to try to see the amazing accomplishments our children

do. My son used a spoon last night for the first time in a VERY long time (only

did it once months ago). He NEVER made me even try to show him. And now he

holds his bowl with his snacks and walks it to his table and I only had to show

him twice and he learned it.... to me it's a miracle and it's not big to

other people but to me and my husband, man if we can throw a party everytime

something like that happens we would....

I really am thankful for you ladies today, as I said before I REALLY REALLY

needed your remarks today. So thanks my peeps

can I call you ladies my peeps LOL... since people I thought were friends and my

peeps are no longer there...This board really makes me remember I'm not alone

and out of my mind. I have no one else to really talk to, cause not many

actually get it..man if I didn't have a computer I really would be screwed

> It's funny, I sooooooo needed a " kick in the butt " from all of you! So THANK

YOU!!!!  It's funny how quickly we start to look at things with our kids in

terms of what is wrong, what needs to get done, what needs to get fixed at the

school, etc.. and then we miss all the progress our kids have made.

and am thrilled with all they've learned, I look at my ASD child and see all

that needs to get done! It makes me sad. And although nothing is ever spoken I

know he must be picking up on it too- that just sucks!
