Nola,

You know I think yourself & Michael are blessed to have Samual in your lives as he is to have been sent to you... He is going to be the best big brother anyone could ask for!!!!


Shreya, may I ask (if your still around) where do you live? My daughter (almost 8yrs) has an inbuilt Mummying/caring qulaity... In prep she started school & there is a girl with severe Cerebral Palsy in her grade & from day 1, maddison has assisted her in putting her bag & coat away, hooking her hat on her hook, after finishing her own school work Maddison asks if she can help this other girl.. I was a bit worried initially that Maddison wasnt letting this girl achieve on her own & may have actually been suffocating her a little. But I was advised by the teachers & this girls parents that it was muchly appreciated.. The little girl gets invited to all the other students birthdays she is well & truly part of the class & school & never left out! Maddison took her under her wing, Maddison is exceptionally confident & popular at the school, so this little girl has now got a broad range of friends. Maddison doesnt do as much for her now as she said she is starting to do most things by herself...

Just wondering whereabouts your located & maybe if there is a school/ or something nearby, where he could go to interact with kids that are a bit older & will interact with him???

Best wishes!!!!
