This is a new movement, started by a few moms like me: smart, funny, gorgeous, with a side of a kid with special needs. We're spending our Saturday mornings appreciating the small things. It might just be a pic, a paragraph, a line or two.
Here goes:
Today I'm appreciating my ability to be present and able to appreciate. In the past two weeks, I've been blown away by my bird's ability to function with what she's working with. For example, I picked her up from school yesterday (they swim at school on Fridays- amazing, I know) and the teacher told me that she was able to tread water longer than ANY of the other kids. Reminder: all the other kids are normy kids in her full inclusion classroom. So, this means that my little bird with the muscle disease out-treaded (a word?) all those other kiddos!! She is amazing!!

Awww, I love it, go Little Bird!!!
way to go!! you must be so proud :)
That is SO amazing!!! I teach swim lessons (it's one of my PT jobs) and see SO many kiddos just THRIVE in the water. Our therapist referred to the benefits it has had for my son as a kind of "re-birthing" experience (I know...the term weirds me out, but given the water metaphor it works). Swimming has done wonders for us! Way to go Little Bird :)
Go Little Bird!
Great project/ series- I will look forward to these sat posts!
How cool that she gets to have swimming class at school! What a great program!
How fabulous--and doesn't sound like a small thing to me!

Fantastic! You go girl!
You might not know, but I think swimming is WONDERFUL! Big accomplishment for Little Bird - in small part to everyone who supports her in getting into that pool. Barbara
