I can't tell you the countless times that people have thrown it out when having a conversation with me. Usually it goes something like, "that is so retarded". The sad thing is that these aren't mean, cruel people. I can never understand how, otherwise nice, people can be so clueless and wreckless with their words, especially when my children are right beside them. They don't even slow down to see my look of shock and hurt. And it really hurts to the core! I've been pondering how to confront this when it happens without my own words becoming wreckless, as it has been happening quite frequently lately. This kid definitely gave me some material! Thanks for that! I feel empowered! <br /><br />Also, thanks for the tip on the Sure Steps. I found them on a google search because I wanted an alternative to the type Chloe had. They just weren't very flexible and she kind of stomped when she walked because of it. I didn't know of anyone that has personally used the Sure Steps so it was good to hear that from you. I appreciate you taking time to share that! :)<br /><br />Zoe is as always a ray of sunshine in her latest pics! She's brightened my night up. :) And I LOVE that she still has her hair! What a little miracle she is in every way! I liked the video of her a few days ago rolling and sitting up. She does it so fast and effortlessly! If I tried that I wouldn't be able to get back up! lol! It does my heart so much good to see her thriving! She is simply amazing, a little warrior princess!<br /><br />Also, we are forever grateful to you for helping us bring Dasha home! You cannot even imagine how much that meant to us! It especially touched my heart coming from your family because you were/are facing your own obstacles and yet you reached out to us when we needed help. Not a day goes by that I don't look at Dasha and realize what a miracle it is that she is here. Thank you so much for helping to make that happen!!kristynewbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273379779342506601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997156159638877174.post-16143340435614479882009-10-08T20:25:42.464-07:002009-10-08T20:25:42.464-07:00That was great.

If you get a chance I would appreciate a post on what to say to those around us who use this word and how to say it from a place of love so that it will help them understand.Jeanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284850520715574995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997156159638877174.post-85871813238918699702009-10-08T19:54:57.393-07:002009-10-08T19:54:57.393-07:00You might also like this:

Just brought home the ugly truth of this world - discrimination, something I am sure we all worry about for our children. And the fight for acceptance, which will be the ultimate goal. More people need to see this, people who have not been blessed by having someone with special needs in their life.
