Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 I must have missed a post on MAddie. DSon't know why she is ill. TEETH??? I hope by now she is feeling better! thank you so much for your words of comfort. I will NOT eliminate my daughter from my life. I haven't decided how to handle this issue of the new baby, but I am working on a plan. One thought my sister gave me is to practice with Elie SEEING babies but not touching them. LEtting him experience the sight of babies without any need or reason to hold them. We have been doing that with babies at the doctor's office, but I have a couple of friends with new grandbabies who are going to be asked to visit in our house and vice versa wtih Elie. My sister pointed out to me that Elie CAN be impulsive, which we all know. Just because he has never hurt any child doesn't mean it isn't within the realm of possibility. Now, my sister is not an Elie booster. But even so, I can ALMOST see what she is saying. I will work on this.

I told the school she was praying for her mother. Lol I enjoyed reading this so much! I'm just surprised that the school didn't fire back at you that prayer isn't allowed in school. lol Trisha is 12 now will be 13 in Feb. can you believe that? anyway, she stills needs her security item and she too does alot of dangling. We found a bouncy with a keychain attached and when she dangles it, talks. She loves it, the school isn't as happy with it though. :-) Carol Trishasmom She isn't typical, She's Trisha!

But I didn't, we got them at a parade. ROTFLOL Jayne. I wouldn't tell them you DIDN'T earn them. Much more colorful to let them think otherwise....LOL Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
