I'm not alone afterall!

Finally,someone who gets it!

So C did Special Olympics this year for the first time (basketball and track). Sidenote: if you have never gone to a Special Olympics event,you should. Anyway,he met a girl there and they instantly became buds. We have gotten together for playdates outside of SO. Yesterday,we met her and her mom at the pool. While the kids were swimming (and having FUN) the mom and I had a chance to talk more than we ever have. After chatting with her and giving her the low down on C's recent behavior issues,I found out that she has gone through almost the exact same issues with her daughter. Everything I said,she TOTALLY understood! It was so nice to finally talk to someone who "gets it". We also had a chance to talk about what it's like to have a child with so many needs and how hard it is to talk to other people about your child because you don't want them to think anything less of your child. Exactly! What a relief it is to know there is someone out there who totally gets it!
