I want to hear from YOU!  I am working on a story and would love to include your thoughts and experiences.  Parents with special needs children:  YOU need to read this.  I need your input to help other parents just like us.  I lost this post in the crash of Chicago Parent, but had posted a hardcopy in my son’s OT ...

It’s the Little Things that remind me of how absolutely fortunate I am.  The Little Things show themselves in Little Ways, under the radar.  I will not say that I have fortune in the form of wealth or fame or material possessions.  I have fortune in my family and those who come along on the journey of our life, and those who just ...

Thanks, Chicky1!  I appreciate your input.  It CAN be rough for even the toughest, strongest people and that's exactly why I needed input like yours!  I agree, it does take a whole village to help out the parents, too.  I'm glad that you still find time for you and David's father to relax every once in a while.  You DO ...

We started our “Christmas-ing” yesterday and we will carry on through January 6. It’s just these first few days of Christmas that are crazy. This morning, my children were ...

I had one of those ''Light Bulb'' moments today, call it an epiphany,if you will, in the spirit of the season. Today I had a realization of why, despite all of the obstacles, we keep pushing forward for our SmallBoy - why any parent fights for their child. After weighing the pros and cons of letting SmallBoy join the 5th grade basketball ...

...and I want insurance to cover it. Anyone have any ideas? My SmallBoy has THE world's BEST therapist. He's very cool, totally un-stuffy, is phenomenal with SmallBoy and his teachers, AND, uses the Wii in session for therapy. They take turns playing Wii Bowling, Zelda, Mario something or other, and lots of other games I don't know ...
