That's beautiful! Is Harmony a client of yours Donna? Those children are the sweetest! But much appreciation for the parents and caretakers as I know that is a lot of work! I babysat one summer for a boy severely behind (it's been many years now, i forget the details). He couldn't walk and struggled with eating. (gosh! i can't even remember his age at the time. 3 is coming to mind, but i think that was after I was working with him hmm) Actually, I think we were even trying to teach him to crawl (??) and just stand on his own. He had to stand in this contraption to keep him standing, and if left to his own devices, he would just scoot along on his back. It got so bad, he needed a helmet to keep from losing his hair! Eating was also an ordeal. Had to be very particular foods and he took no less than an hour to eat and many times would get sick after. And similar with language... but when we could just laugh and play, boy, what a sweetie! His laugh and smile-precious!

Can't remember...no, it was PC that I mentioned this. I have an adopted cousin with bipolar disorder. and her little girl (well, a teenager now omg!) is also developmentally delayed. Well, the little girl is just the light of my life. She still struggles with speaking, but has certainly come a long way. Actually, she was a blessing for both me and my husband as she took to him when she was just a little thing (2 years I think). gah! tears in my eyes of those precious days! I knew her since she was like 2 months (??) yeah, so she really is like "my baby". (i hope I haven't said too much. this is kinda personal. there's one more thing I can add, but maybe I should do it privately, if I haven't already said too much eek!)
