Benjamin's Mamma: December 2010
http://benjaminsmamma.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 7, 2010. Sunday, December 5, 2010. But today, he went with me. Friday, December 3, 2010. Sometime last month I was invited by a friend to attend a support group for parents of children with disabilities. The group dynamic was extremely diverse, but the majority of the parents were those of children diagnosed with ASD. One of the parents whose child was 9 or 10 spoke up and asked the group what she should have said to her child when he asked her, "When will I get a real friend?

Benjamin's Mamma: fairness
http://benjaminsmamma.blogspot.com/2011/09/fairness.html
Tuesday, September 13, 2011. Sometimes I wonder what is fair for my child in terms of explaining his disability. Should I just tell people? Or should I just let him be who is, and then let them wonder? As I'm being backwards bear-hugged). People like Benjamin see the world in a different way and have such great creativity and input (if the world will let them) into ideas and changes that could take place. Its exciting to see you embrace him and love him for it all! September 14, 2011 at 6:03 AM.

Benjamin's Mamma: February 2011
http://benjaminsmamma.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 8, 2011. Benjamin started speaking in whole sentences last year around this time. More milk, Mommy. A cow says moo. That sort of thing. What an amazing difference a year makes. One little year. I'm pretty sure I teared up a little, and I'm more than sure that this lady thought I was absolutely nuts, but I was overwhelmed with a lot of different emotions. Amazing what one little year can do. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. 18 years, a letter to Fred.

I thought that school was primarily for learning, and isn't that exactly why children tend to get into trouble at school? For socializing when they're supposed to be paying attention in class?

Benjamin's Mamma: Angels
http://benjaminsmamma.blogspot.com/2012/01/angels.html
Thursday, January 26, 2012. The response was laughter and, "No, like a helicopter." So part of laughed and part of me cringed because it was a signal that he's growing up. There are reasons that God lets the very young see angels- they have no reason to doubt their existence. He still loves to read about angels, but he doesn't talk about them anymore.

Benjamin's Mamma: October 2011
http://benjaminsmamma.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 18, 2011. So yesterday, I realized how selfish I really am, and it was such a horrible feeling. And this rarely happens, but I wished my life different. and it's such a horrible feeling. Benjamin is such a sweet child, and God gave him to me specifically. So basically, I wished that God had given him to someone else. Given my Benjamin to someone else. I was heart broken for myself for even thinking of such a selfish notion. I am reminded that all children are a gift.

Benjamin's Mamma: July 2011
http://benjaminsmamma.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 27, 2011. Some of you may have read this on my fb page, but I'll tell it again just in case. We were at the zoo today, and yes, I am rather crazy as it is the middle of July and we went to the zoo that opens at 10am. Why does it open so late in the morning? Kids are up early, ya know. I can only guess that the animals are up early. Who wants to see miserable, hot animals? Wednesday, July 13, 2011. Seems like everyone has dropped off the blogosphere these days, huh? Anyway, I digress.
