Ellen I'm sorry we do NOT have that right. Plus completely empty playgrounds are dangerous. I'm not allowed to go to playgrounds which are completely empty. Its a safety thing. Generally speaking you should avoid them. If you are in a deserted playground and a stranger attacks Max, what are you going to do?

As a mother of 2 autistic boys I know all to well the feelings & frustrations of dealing with doctors of all kinds, teachers, therapists, those "lovely" insurance battles, and wanting to smack a well meaning mom who brags about her "perfect" child - ugh. I can only pray for forgiveness when I have those feelings, but when I look at my 2 handsome, caring, and wonderful boys those feelings disappear and I give thanks for them. HE gave me these wonderful boys knowing that I was strong enough to handle all that comes along with being the parent of a special needs child. And I am, always have been. It's nice to read that sometimes it's ok to have those feelings, go out with your girlfriends, bawl home from the playground, and to just be able to vent but also to just enjoy our kids for who they are - NOT for the diagnoses they have. Thank you for sharing. IvyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-31310937506545632952010-03-26T12:35:00.899-04:002010-03-26T12:35:00.899-04:00Enjoy Disney!!

Sometimes they are so far off with what they come up with yet look at the parents as if we're uneducated. I just had this conversation last week. I may not have any letters behind my name, but I live this 24/7. Sometimes, I just might know what I'm talking about!! Love the post once again Ellen.
