I know it can be hard sometimes as a mom of a special needs child to let go and let someone else step in and offer help and assistance, too. My 91 year old mother still thinks at times that she is the only one who can care for my disabled sister properly. We have to constantly remind her that not only do we enjoy spending time with and helping our disabled sister, but we enjoy being able to help our mother, too. We also remind her frequently that it is good for our sister to realize that there are many other people who care for her and will be there for her when mom is gone one day. I am not saying that you are this way, just commenting on how hard it can be to let go when you have had to be everything to a child for so long. I love your blog and wish happy fireman dreams to Max.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-68529426406322757512014-06-02T13:41:20.358-04:002014-06-02T13:41:20.358-04:00This makes me so very very happy for you, Dave and...This makes me so very very happy for you, Dave and Max.

I'm glad your neighborhood has people like that in it.<br /><br />Speaking of Lightning McQueen, we bought my kid this http://www.amazon.com/Disney-Pixar-Cars-Stuck-Stories/dp/2764320701 and every time we read it I think of Max. The pages are thick and sturdy, easier to turn than paper, and the suction cups are pretty strong and stick to the slick pages... or to windows or whatever. If you're still looking for fun ways to work on pincer grasp, picking these up, moving them around, and pulling them off the page might help?Brigid Keelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09558327183683074633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-90028951693964896872014-06-02T11:03:54.369-04:002014-06-02T11:03:54.369-04:00Great story!
