Your welcome, however all glory to God. Was there something from the list that you were able to apply in your own life?

Introduction JB

Almost every day I go to work there is something I can apply. I'm one of those people who believes that giving of yourself shouldn't just be an act of the holidays, but something done all year round. My fiance and I are planning on going up to the church next week and do some massive cleaning. So, that's something we're going to do to give something to our church.

Read your latest blog entry. So at least the movie part was good. My oldest is just old enough to take to movies. At five, with an auditory processing problem (most likely), he has a hard time following the story line. But Narnia sounds like a good start. If its any consolation, our kids associate going out with spending money too, and I am very stern. Its just that they usually get something special when we say we are 'going out', so when we don't, they just don't understand why not. Timeouts work for us to, to an extent.

Introduction JB

JB, my friend ~~ I read your blog from a week ago. This time when your son is so young is very very short, as I know that you know. I'm so impressed with your efforts to make sure that he is well cared for. As challenging as it is to have him at home with you all day, I expect you will look back one day and remember your time with him with fondness. And Felipe will look back when he's grown and remember it as well. I had very little contact with my dad as a child, and it had a huge effect on me. What you are doing is the most important thing right now. God bless you and your family.

JB, I was reading your blog about Felipe, and I was curious as to what he has? I hear the two of you talk about the difficulties he has and such.

FarSeer, yes, I do look at that aspect of it, but I really do need to get him the necessary treatment he needs as it is beyond what I can do and is beneficial for his long term development.

BabyBlues, our son has been diagnosed with ADHD and may also have a maturity / development delay so he cannot speak properly, has no concept of time and really does not understand basic things that you and I take for granted. There is a lot of places in the Parenting Board or in our Blogs where we discuss it.

First let me say congratulations on being a daddy, again!
I wish you all the best of luck over next two tri-mesters!

Second, our son developed proper speech late as well. He has auditory processing problems, which is not the same, but a hurdle none the less. It took him longer, much longer than most kids, but he has almost caught up with his speech. Given time, and nothing else wrong, I expect Felipe will catch up to his peers. Some kids are just late developers. My other two kids have developed much faster that the other kids their age, but my oldest is still a little behind. I think you are handling the problems very good considering. It took me time to learn to calm down and understand that this isn't a normal situation.
