A milestone for JEB

Wow.....JEB really hit a milestone today......first, I had a conference with his teacher at school and found out that he can do some amazing things!! He has figured out how to work a mouse and follow directions to a program on the computer, he actually will sit with earphones on his ears and listen to something like a story (this is a MAJOR accomplishment, he normally throws things like this across the room) and he can do basic phonics with instructions from the computer program. I AM SO PROUD of my little man!! His teacher gave me this website and when it opened up, he climbed up in the chair and started clicking!! I sat here in amazement, watching him do what was asked of him!! Technology is a wonderful thing!!

You know, there are many days that I wonder what he will be when he grows up.....what will he be able to do for himself, or if he will be able to be self-sufficient........all of those questions that most people don't think about but take for granted that their child will be able to do....of course! BUT when you have a special needs child, you really can't take anything for granted. Everyday is a blessing and a special gift from GOD. Every little thing they are able to accomplish is such a HUGE event!

I'm SO PROUD of him......I love him so much!!!

I know.....I know......

Oh, I'm still here.....really. I just haven't taken the time to actually write on my own blog because I've been too caught up reading other people's blogs. Sad, huh??? I know.....really sad!

I hope everyone had an awesome time praising and worshipping GOD this LORD's day. Service was ok today.....we still really miss our ALABAMA church.......but music was good today!

This will be a weird week for us....JEB is out of school M/T/W with half-days on Thurs/Fri. So, Jn and I have to take turns since there is no formal daycare when school is out. Hopefully, I'll be able to scrap a little bit. That would be great!

Have a great week everyone!!
