He's nine and I wonder if he could even sit still long enough now to make it through storytime at the library. When we go he always wanders the library looking at things. Which is fine at nine but not so great at 2 or 3! My son Joshua would do the same thing, I’m sure!

It is wonderfully written, informative and beautifully thought out.:-) I believe a collection of these Heads Up articles would make a fine book, maybe even better than your first one. Have you thought about having them published? They could be a big help to a lot of people. Love you all, Dad Melinda:

But I think differently - I rather wear only one shoe when I go anywhere: One foot with a sock and shoe on it, and the other foot with just a sock (no shoe). I just feel more comfortable this way. And for a young man my age, it may be unbalanced - so what? It's not like god made us wear both of our shoes all the time. It's my chioce, and my chioce alone. The only execption to this rule is during the winter time, otherwise it's one shoe for me all the way! And in case anyone is interested, I also wear only one roller skate when I want to go skating.

Boy can I relate! I have a husband and son whom we homeschooled(now 30) and now we have adopted 3 children of whom our 9 yr old with down syndrome is clueless that there is a box to put anything in especially to contain thoughts! Your website is a great inspiration to me. We are currently raising our adopted 3 with multiple disabilities and although they are close in age 8, 8 and 9 are many years apart developmentally. Your articles are life giving as I set out to prepare for another LONG year. I hope it is life giving to our children and that they grow spiritually as well as academically and socially. I know I will learn a lot! Blessings!!!!! I loved your story of Joshua and the battle of the…. flannel board. Boy can I relate!
