I feel your words right to my very soul. I too get reports daily in Alicen's communication notebook on a daily basis. I almost run to it each night to see what is written in it. Apparently Alicen thinks she is the teacher right now. For some reason she is VERY VERY vocal lately and she will let anyone within miles hear what she has to say. To Kenidi and Alicen---------- You go girls. More power to ya.
Alicen's developmental doctor in Springfield told me that Alicen would never attend school, she wouldn't even be able to move at all. Well, Alicen is in her 3rd year of preschool and last year at Christmas she made her way over to the Christmas tree and pulled the presents onto herself. She has even got herself "caught" under the sofa, she pivots all over the place on her back, well more like in circles but it is her way of doing what they said she would not doo. More power to Kenidi and Alicen.

Hey Angie,
Loved this post!!Anyone with a special needs kiddo could relate with this one! One minute were crying and pleading with God becuase we just "don't get it". How many times have we said, "I just wish I could get inside her/his brain and understand what he's thinking"!! And then these moments were God is so good just to give us the grace to laugh. LOVE it.
It makes me sad for Kenidi and for you that she's having a hard time adjusting. I'll be praying for her (and you).
On a side note, I'm wondering how Angie is doing? Sounds like you're movin' right along....wondering how I should be praying for you.
Oh - and how's the class going? My friend is LOVIN' it!! I'm looking forwards to the next one! HA!!
I feel ya too!
What a journey...but what a gift! I feel so blessed to be a Mom who has been chosen to parent a child with special needs...(most of the time, haha!!)
Angie,
There is nothing sweeter than a Mother's love for her child and I love reading about yours for Kenidi. I hope that her school situation will work out....I will pray for that for you.
HAHA!! I can so relate to that. You do just have to laugh at those moments and thank God for the miracles that he has blessed us with. I'll tell ya funny story, my baby sister Elizabeth wanted to play soccer so bad when she was about 5 so we signed her and got her all her equipment, uniform, you name it. The day of her first game we were sitting on the sidelines and all of a sudden didn't see her with her team, we panicked. I spot her all the way down on the other side of the field stripped naked changing out of her uniform. She walks back up to me and signs to me that her uniform is ugly and she no longer wanted to play. I have never laughed so hard in my life. Even though we spent money and time, I can now look back at that moment and laugh and thank God for giving me a Hi-Larry-Us baby sister. Hope little Kenidi can get into the groove of things quickly and I know all too well how change can affect a special needs child. I hope you are doing great well chicky.

Oh how I had to laugh when I read that! 4 times...you have to give it to her, she has a strong will and that is a great quality and will see her through in life. God Bless her and your family. Will be praying for her daily struggles.
Sometimes laughing is the only thing that gets you through. I hope something clicks soon and she begins to feel more comfortable with her new school.
I'm not a mom of a special needs kid, I have worked with them some, but I still don't know what it's like to mother one...my advice though, would be to do what you did...burst with laughter, sometimes, if we don't laugh, we will go insane. At the end of the day you are blessed with a beautiful family and life, and God is on your side...even if your daughter is an escape artist :-)
Yep! I'm finding that laughter is the best medicine!
Love this honest post. Made my night!
LOL! Oh Angie! I think that you know our daughter has several medical and emotional issues, and this post was so from the heart and really touched me that I had to leave you at the very least a big :D
BTW - Last night she was on her bike took a tumble and bit right through her tongue!
After that trip to Atlanta with you, I know all too well how this little Missy can escape, so does the guy whose room she ran into (oooopppps!) She is one of a kind, no doubt. I do have to say that I have been concerned about how different she has been also. Then again, she can just be that beautiful bright eyed little beauty in the next minute. To say that life with Kenidi is really going to be an adventure, is an understatement-ha,ha. Gotta Love It all!
Ahh, I remember those PT reports from when I was younger. Sometimes, her lists of goals for me was longer than the lists of accomplishments, but I kept trudging along. I loved knowing that I could finally do something that we'd worked on forver. I've been in PT ever since I was 6 months old, and I'm almost 20, but it's WELL worth it in the end.
That note made me laugh, too. Kids are so unpredictable!
I forgot to mention that I have Cerebral Palsy(aka CP). That way you can understand why I've been in physical therapy for so long.
I love it! And I adore and admire for putting a smile on your face in those hard times. I have a few friends who have special needs children. I look up to you all so much for guidance and what to do with my own little stinkers. Funny they all have thier own personality and keep us going! Praying Kenidi adjusts better and your family for your trying times right now.
