I am interested in your post. Could you give us some idea's in helping our LO's ? It's hard to find anything that will get MIL's attention these days, but I still try. Now and again I see that sparkle, maybe my imagination, but maybe not?

Yesterday she kept saying something to me, I couldn't hear her see was talking so low and her words were so garbled. She leaned her head close to mine and she said the same thing again. She said she loved me.

I can't begin to say how that touched my heart. It was hard to keep the tears in check. You can seldom understand words she mumbles much lest put a sentence together.

I have been there when they had activities and it is a hard to keep some of them focused. I do admire anybody that will take on jobs like these. Perhaps you will share some things with us, help us understand how to interact with our LO's.

Welcome to you as well as all that have posted here. with much care, Jo
