Welcome!

This blogging is all new to me. I'm hoping other "special needs" parents might find comfort in knowing they are not alone. Also, I think it is important for me to document my son's accomplishments, struggles, not to mention mine as well.

A Reason I LOVE him.....

When our family was discussing what we would do if we happen to win the Mega Millions Jackpot (600 million dollars) I told the kids that I would buy them anything they wanted. My oldest,Blake,had to think about it. He wanted it to be something good. When I asked Colin what he wanted (and I said,again,he could have ANYTHING) he said,"Cookies!"and "Ice Cream!" and I said,'Colin you can have all of the cookies and ice cream you want every day of your life." The thing about him is,that he meant it. He didn't want any material things,nothing fancy or flashy. Not because he wouldn't want those things but because those things do not make him happy (not like cookies and ice cream do!)I think because of his cognitive ability,those things are not even in his realm of thought. I don't think they ever will be and that is one thing I love about him.
