Guest guest Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 WOW! That has to be the ultimate compliment. **Just in case you did not know, there is a rule on this list that you need to put “requires tissue” in the subject line for posts like that….JUST JOKING!** Hugs to you and your little boy!

(he has apraxia) She remembers telling him that God had made my son, , special and that will learn to talk when he is ready. Last week, we got together and my friend called me that night and told me that her son asked why God didn’t think that was special anymore because he doesn’t talk funny. Needless to say, I hung up the phone, got a box of tissues, and hugged my little boy who has been working so hard for the last 4 ½ years. I am so proud of the progress that he is making and to have one of his friends notice is a GREAT feeling of accomplishment! For those of you who are new to this list, keep working with your child-it’s a long, hard road for all, but the rewards are phenomenal!!

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Hi, All Pittsburgh Goers! Just thought I'd put it out there that I will be wearing a REALLY NEON ORANGE hat (Josh's choice) with two little gold cherab buttons sewn on. With the hat - can't miss me. I'll have it on tomorrow night at registration and at lunch on Friday. Hope everyone has good travel days. Sherry sherry silvern <srsilvern@...> wrote: Ilene - Wow, can you spare some tissues?
