roll call

[Guest guest]

I'm Sherenna and we (Barry, hubby of 17 years, (9DS), Nash(8), and

Annika(3)) live in Sautee, GA. A very small town about 70 miles north of

Atlanta.

is in a special ed elementary classroom and has had his same teacher now

for about 5 years. She is wonderful - can make him do things we never see at

home! We are having feeding issues right now. He stopped eating anything but

pudding, yogurt, and milkshakes at the age of 3 - won't put anything food-wise

with texture in his mouth. Thank goodness for Pediasure! He is beginning to

be more verbal, can do some signs, and usually says the words he signs.

Normally he doesn't initiate conversation, but will answer you when you request

it with a yes or no. We have a very supportive family unit which we are very

grateful for. is active in Special Olympics as I am the treasurer of

our local chapter and he can't get out of it! would watch movies or

listen to music 24/7. His latest craze is listen to the answering machine

messages over and over and over again. He has even learned to record himself

and listen back.

Nash is in to any sports and played football for the first time this year. He is

very smart in math and loves his Playstation and anything airplanes or

helicopters!

Annika is actually our most difficult child - into her terrible threes as we

call it! She love baby dolls and received a " real " baby doll for Christmas as

she calls it. She goes to a church preschool 2 half days a week and loves it

to our surprise! She is the most loving with Coop. He will let her do

anything to him!

This is our first posting. I have been a member only a few weeks. I am a

business education teacher at our ninth grade academy and my husband is in the

lumber business.

I look forward to reading all the posts and have gotten some good advice and

ideas from them.
