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!!!
