Difference is an Artist's Game

Being a mom of a child with special needs, it is my prayer that my other kids would continue to love James unconditionally in spite of his disabilities. Thus, I admire other children who show so much understanding and compassion of their siblings who also have special needs.

I was forwarded a link in youtube about a Clara Sigmon's poem about her younger brother, David, who has Down Syndrome. It is such a touching piece. Allow me to share it with you. May you be inspired as I was.

Playing with Flash Cards

James loves words and letters. He enjoys being read to. He likes it when he hears people singing the alphabet or speaking in rhymes. He particularly gets excited when we show him big, bold letters on flash cards. The other night, Daddy and James played with letters. Our little boy seemed to have enjoyed seeing his name spelled out on the mat.

Therapy Using the ChildRite Seat

Here's James, getting used to sitting upright by himself. With the help of the ChildRite Seat , here's praying that his neck and trunk muscles would soon be strong enough to support independent sitting.

Wishlists for James

As many parents who have children with special needs know, it is sometimes very hard to find or buy supplies for our kids that we can afford. As such, if you know of people who are disposing the following items either through donations or discounted prices, do let us know. We would appreciate the help very much. All photos you can see here are: 1. Formulas for tube-feeding that would greatly help James get the special nutrition he needs 2. Special needs equipment that would make him more comfortable and which would help us take care of him better *items are updated as the need for them arise
