BBSF

Today I took Nathan to his class at Little Wonders. He absolutely loves Little Wonders and looks forward to it all week. It is very expensive but understandably so because of the staff to child ratio. We would not have been able to do it again this session if it weren't for another very kind benefactor and we are very grateful. Nathan has become so much more confident in his attitude and his movement since he began going there in May. Mr. E does a fabulous job working with the kids and makes sure each child is participating. I enjoy it because in addition to watching Nathan as happy as can be, it is nice to be in the company of other parents of special needs children. Although their children have different special needs, none of which are medical issues, being in the company of other parents who know what it is like to have a child who is non-typical is really comforting. Here is a picture of "bumper cars" today.

As a special treat, after Little Wonders we went to Panera Bread for some bagels. I decided to slow down and enjoy the morning with the two big kids. Here they are sitting at Panera. This is my cell phone so its not the greatest but I thought it was cute.

Anyway, to the point of this post.....At breakfast Libby told me that her and Nathan had a secret handshake. How cute is that? They have formed a secret club and it is called BBSF. Any guesses? Best Brother and Sister Forever! They are not biologically related, they are different genders and differently abled but they can still hang together. For me watching them play is one of the best parts of being their mom.

Love it! It sounds like you're doing well, your kids (of course, like always) look adorable, and I want to try out those "bumper cars."
