[blparent] it's a first!

[Veronica Smith]

I am glad he is feeling better.  Boy I know that feeling of having my nose
powed.  When my niece was tiny, she'd throw her head back when she was mad
and heaven forbid your face was near.  Smile! I hope your kids keep on
trying new things and hopefully Jessie will communicate more often.

Those of you who understand about my children will appreciate this story.
Paul was offered one of those garlic-flavored hard breadsticks to try.  He
liked it so was asked if he wanted more breadsticks--which he did.  I walked
over to the play room door and Jesse was crouched in the doorway.  I asked
him what he wanted and he took off for the table.  He wanted some, too.  He
has never done that before.  Consequently he had a second supper of french
fries, breadsticks and s'more goldfish.

It's so nice to see Jesse starting to try communicating with us.  I knew the
doctor would find an ear infection today because at therapy Tuesday he
wanted the OT to put lots of pressure on the sides of his head and
especially his right side.  He'd just begun hitting himself in the head the
day before.  Let me tell you, he hits his head hard!  He went to hit his
head at the doctor's office and hit me in the nose instead because I was
leaning my cheek on the top of his head.  Almiost brought tears to my eyes.

Through the sunny fields of yesterday
Echo voices of children now grown,
Their golden peals of laughter
Ring upon the ivied stone.
