Last week I was on fb and saw that a mom that I know who happens to belong to the CDSC had written about a situation that had angered her. Another mom helper at her son's school commented on her son being a burden for his one on one while she had been in the same room helping out. Being so upset and angry she left the room in tears.
Is this what people think of my son? How do I know that this same thing isn't happening in his classroom? Is he a burden? And to who is he a burden to?
See for moms like me we don't have the luxury of asking our children about their day and having them tell us. We have thoughts of how their day could have gone or get a feel for it by looking at their work that was sent home, but we have no way of really knowing.
When I look into his eyes, a burden is not what I see. I see a strong willed young boy that will have to work a bit harder than his peers. He walks, runs, laughs, is silly and makes others smile when they meet him. He is a child and he is my child. One day he will be able to tell me how his day went, just not today.

About Me
- cecily
- As a kid I always imagined myself getting married and having perfect little children. But what came to be was more than I had imagined. Corey was our 2nd child and 2nd boy but he had alittle extra something which they called Down syndrome. We had no idea that he had Ds until his birth. With our 1st we never got tested since I didn't think that it was a big deal and I have always thought that "God only gives you what he thinks that you can handle", what was I thinking.
