In his PT sessions, he shares them with other children who are severly disabled .. he is the only one who can roll, sit, pull up, etc... but he is also the only one that cannot answer a question.. or tell us what is going on with him.. and it makes me so sad. I am proud of everything that he does and I too have to take it one day at a time. I often need to remind myself that he too is capable of learning so much... but it will be at his own turtle pace. :) I can't dwell on it though.. that won't help him one bit!<br />thank you for being so candid! :)<br /><br />mistyMistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10001802750592065757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1063435392724696415.post-87905670591024681142009-10-28T16:31:51.857-05:002009-10-28T16:31:51.857-05:00Rachelle,

But don't let that take the wind out of your sails!! We can give you a huge list of "S"'s and "E"'s for Joey here at Wiggles!! Walking without support, placing shapes in a shape sorter, communicating through body language, and let's not forget Legos!! Joey's time line may be his own, but he is learning and progressing every day! We are so proud of him, too!!!!Crishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16865815439514564696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1063435392724696415.post-13286719935486924192009-10-27T22:25:35.602-05:002009-10-27T22:25:35.602-05:00Thanks for posting this.

Just think, if it was 15 years before now he may not have even had that option, right?<br />He will learn! Maybe not as quickly and maybe not as completely as an average child, but in the end, no matter how educated he becomes, he's still going to be your extra special little boy with tons to offer the world!<br /><br />Justine :o )Justinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07011990752073017542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1063435392724696415.post-62171250350722489212009-10-27T21:39:30.718-05:002009-10-27T21:39:30.718-05:00Thanks for sharing!
Today we were at story time ...Thanks for sharing! <br />Today we were at story time at the library and a little girl who was just learning to walk and talk toddled over to Emma's carseat as i was strapping her in and pointed and said "Be?" and her mom said, "Yes, that's a baby!" After playing the "how old is she?" game, we realized that Emma is actually 2 weeks older than this little girl ... <br />We all choose joy every day, but thanks for your honesty in this post. It gave me permission to be a little sad for a minute and then move on :)<br />Give Joey a hug for me!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08669191198304871320noreply@blogger.com
