She's 4 months old and I'm struggling with the privacy issue that I know will come up later. I don't even share much on FB for the same reason. I've started writing monthly letters to her instead, I get everything out and it's private. Maybe you could do that for Joseph, I'm sure you'll both treasure the memories later.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532574789522676764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11653780.post-47748802372950595692010-09-05T16:45:06.317-05:002010-09-05T16:45:06.317-05:00Joseph is totally awesome, no matter what.

I have been a witness to one of his melt downs, and yes it wasn't pretty, but I also remember him standing on the stairs and telling me that he felt bad about it. Some times, things just happen.... the most important thing is to just work through it and move on.... and Joseph is capable of doing that....and the rest of us need to follow his example...Focus on the good things and diminish the not so good...... and I loved his comment on the soup... His dislike of soup might be that he can't always figure out exactly what is in there!! Joseph is fabulous....ROCK ON!!<br /><br />Grandma Judy...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11653780.post-74022493695315148722010-09-03T15:52:50.705-05:002010-09-03T15:52:50.705-05:00I totally get this.

I'm still figuring out the boundaries and probably err too far on the loose lips side, but I'm getting there. :)<br /><br />I know what you mean about worrying that others will think your guy is a bad kid. Like, sometimes, I get so frustrated with Jack and I love him more than anyone. It's so hard to remember sometimes that these issues stem directly from a disability, not bad parenting or a bad kid. Do other people, who don't love him like that think he's rotten? I don't know.<br /><br />What I DO know is that from everything I've heard about Joseph, I think he's pretty awesome.<br /><br />I suggest, perhaps not another child, but some mice as pets? Mayhap a gerbil?Stimeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09685801693683588805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11653780.post-59292576914187151752010-09-03T13:55:18.717-05:002010-09-03T13:55:18.717-05:00My oldest is 10, too, and sometimes I feel badly f...My oldest is 10, too, and sometimes I feel badly for talking so much about the other kids and not mentioning him, but you're right - there are too many ways to give people the wrong impression. And by now, I feel like it isn't my decision what to share about him, anyway. So I mostly leave him out. But if he happens to say something as funny as your son's soup comment, I will absolutely include that. Because that? Was funny.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950448336879028108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11653780.post-86351813468531814772010-09-03T13:11:46.362-05:002010-09-03T13:11:46.362-05:00Meltdowns are okay.
