I was just somewhere and someone made a similarly nasty comment about my 3 year old and while I wanted to say "piss off," I just say there silently.

I think if someone is going to make such insensative/rude comments about a child they deserve a "mamma bear" resonse.. including making them feel this >> . <<< small for making such remarks about a child who has down syndrome. I'm sure "HIS" mother would be incredibly embarrassed by "HIS" inability to control "HIMSELF" GRRRRR he should be glad I wasn't there I would have tore him a new one had I overheard that.<br /><br />I agree with the other commenters and think you should buy him one of those microphones. I bet he would have a lot of fun with one. If he likes it perhaps he could take it to school on the days he works with the speech pathologist, could be an interesting tool that may foster speech!?!<br /><br />We all love Micah just the way he is!!AKPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-33107876210691627082009-07-29T12:39:42.527-04:002009-07-29T12:39:42.527-04:00Anon - I love running into people like you in publ...Anon - I love running into people like you in public.

He is so unpredicatable and it is hard to tell which time telling him no will set off world war 3. So walk around holding my breath waiting for the explotion. Which is probably why I am exhausted all the time. I could learn a lot from you- mom guilt and I are like best friends. We are completely inseperable and have those little dangly best friend necklaces to prove it.

Sean generally is a noise maker and it makes it fairly easy to find him when we are out. :P<br /><br />I always watch other people's reaction to Sean in public, it is so interesting to see how others view him. After his appt today, we stopped at Braum's for cones and Sean chose a booth next to an older couple. He climbed up and stuck his head next to the gentleman's face and gave him a cheery "Hi!" The wife said, "You must recognize a grandpa when you see one!" :)<br /><br />The world needs more of that.SunflowerStorieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04811073595725040739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-50906414333722605132009-07-28T23:06:13.213-04:002009-07-28T23:06:13.213-04:00I'm so sorry, I have so been there and done th...I'm so sorry, I have so been there and done that.

I hate how judgemental people can be in one passing glance - looks are often deceiving! Being so tall and slender, Cooper used to draw a lot of those looks that read, "Why is your 5-year-old riding in a stroller/using a pacifier/wearing diapers?" All when he was just barely 3.<br /><br />I'm with you - let him speak his mind at whatever volume he wants! And what is it with bookstores?
