I don’t know if you had the chance to watch Parenthood Tuesday night.  If you haven’t you should search the net for the series premier.

You might be wondering why I’m supporting this day, this cause.  Other than the obvious of how this is offensive to most everyone.

An interesting thing….no matter how well you think someone understands the challenges your child faces, something so little happens that makes you realize, they understand nothing.  They can not see past their own globe, can not consider what others may have to go through, they know not how people in general are different and have [...]]]></description>

Towards the end of summer in sunny Colorado, my entire family wanted to get one last outdoor swim in. My husband and I swam and played with the kids in the large pool, enjoying a game of keep away.

I am honored to be a part of a new writing series put together by Hartley Steiner, of Hartley&#8217;s Life With 3 Boys, for parents of special needs kiddos called &#8220;First Things First&#8220;.

“Alex is a kindergarten student at The Elementary School with a diagnosis of cerebral palsy.  Alex’s parents reported that Alex is verbal, with about 60-70% intelligibility.  Organizing his communication is still a struggle for him.  Alex can get overwhelmed or over stimulated easily.  In the classroom, Miss A described Alex as being easily distracted by [...]]]></description>

Determination, Observation, Happiness, Compassion, Kindness
Determination in all he does shines through,
If you watch it will be clear to you,
That although some obstacles he works to overcome
With a little of your help, this can be done.
He loves to point out what you might miss;
A plane, a goose, a butterfly’s kiss.
Happiness and compassion you will always see

Someone once formed the words and asked the question:
“Well, you aren’t complaining about everything, right?   Because you made your choices.  You chose to have three children and live your life, so it’s not like you didn’t know what you were getting into, right?”
