Hi, everyone.
I have waited this long to post on this topic only because I wanted to get resent pictures of Julian at the Special Olympic swimming practices...so here it is and now we are off to the qualifing competions and then, just maybe on our way to Berkley for the summer games...It is such a wonderful feeling to be in a place where there are no differences between how people see our children...we cheer for each other, and we don't even know each other...just like we do here...As long as we keep Julian in the deep end he will start and finish a race...if he can touch the bottom...he will stop and play...If I can find a picture we have where we had him focus on a family size bag of Lays BBQ chips, I'll post it...it was his first year at this competion and we needed something to entice him...Boy, Oh, Boy did they work...he got his first GOLD metal that year. If you don't have a Special Olympics in your area, ask for one to be started. Enjoy your children, and become child like and you'll have so much fun...
