[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 465847, member: 11791"] Malika - J is a bit like K1, I think... for the most part, closer to "normal" than "not"... but the "nots" are not exactly small... What I meant was... so often, we get wrapped up in the "challenges" and forget to look for and appreciate the "normal" in our lives - not just the normal in the kid, but the whole "big picture" stuff. It really helps US as parents when we get moments like these... 100% positive, 100% issue-free, 100% normal. WE get to be "normal" parents, too! I'm fortunate - our "normal" moments now outnumber our "challenges" by a long shot. But it wasn't always that way. Its the small stuff that gets me every time... like, for so many years, it was almost impossible to get even a "reasonable" school picture (used up all the retries and custom specials... still no luck!)... this year? first set... is the best we've EVER had. For the first time, I can "compare notes" with the other parents... if I want to. Until now, it wasn't even an option. [/QUOTE]
