Thursday, December 31, 2009. Better door than window. This phenomena repeats itself. Frequently in our household. I'm trying to watch. A game on TV or we're watching a movie, and son number one Ben rambles into the room. And into the viewing path. As I was growing up, the Shively household would exclaim.

Special needs parenting journal. Out of Back to School. August 11, 2016. Around our house, most changes in routine are anxiety provoking (for all of us).

Special needs parenting journal. Up on 2 wheels! September 13, 2016. November 1, 2016. We thought it might never happen!

Have I mentioned he did this with walking, too? Priorities and a new school year. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.
