Guest guest Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 That's awesome. Last year one of Nic's typical class peers invited him to a rock-climbing bday party. I wasn't going to take him because....well....I thought he couldn't do it...(shame on me) I called the mom to decline. I said I would hate for Nic to be taking up a spot(you usually are limited to the # of kids you can invite) if he wasn't able to climb. The mom insisted I bring him anyway and that her daughter was very particular of whom she invited. So we went and Nic really did very well. Di An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. fun day > Hi All, > > Just had to share..... my " not so adventurous " went rock > climbing today!!!!! Yeah!
