Beneath the Wings: Up late!

Up late!

I will be posting sporadically if all all for the next few days.Its a way-too late hour to be posting, so I will leave you with this tiny tidbit:

When Ricki was small, she liked saying "No" to everything (pity she never grow out of that...LOL), and the word for "RED". We taped her saying "not red" when we prompted her "say 'red'". Till today an emphatic "not red" brings smiles and laughs to all in the family.

I take great pride that my 16 year old runs the washing machine like a pro! Having a busy mom is educational for “ siblings”…..

And, like Ricki, he is a great helper with laundry. Hopefully, he'll be as good with it at Ricki's age!; July 13, 2008 at 3:41 PM

A description of this blog

This blog is basically a diary, journal, and notes of observations. In the past it dealt mostly with the topics of special needs, especially a real view of what life is like with (and for) a teen with Down syndrome. However, since Ricki's death in August 2012, at age 17, the amount of blogging on the subject of "special needs" has decreased. Additional topics are interpersonal relationships, life in Israel, and dieting. (I have lost 75 kilos...)(And no, I did NOT have weight-loss surgery....) Also an occasional get-on-a-soapbox-and-tell-it-like-it-is personal opinion.
