It came just in time too because I'm heading for the library today as soon as I'm done blogging to get a fresh bunch of books for Hannah. Thanks again!<br />Natalie<br /><br />Lora, Walter and Hannah have always been so much alike. I even remember when Hannah was younger and I was concerned about something you would always tell me, "Don't worry. Walter does just the same thing!" Seems like now we have both typical and not so typical things that they are both alike on. Go figure. <br /><br />NatMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902613485399339619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29160989.post-80378386417397362792010-05-19T08:48:42.911-05:002010-05-19T08:48:42.911-05:00I've found that the Tongginator's behavior...I've found that the Tongginator's behavior definitely goes through... er... interesting periods when she's making cognitive leaps. Doesn't change the fact that it's hard, though, does it?<br /><br />You may want to check out the "Katie Woo" series... they are created like chapter books, but their short length and topics make them appeal to younger readers. The Tongginator loved them!a Tonggu Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01365812914466181060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29160989.post-35008147932143791842010-05-13T16:17:39.495-05:002010-05-13T16:17:39.495-05:00I love how you focus on the positive - Hannah'...I love how you focus on the positive - Hannah's reading! Absolutely amazing! I can't imagine having a child reading at that age (and my 10 year old is on the gifted spectrum).<br />I know that so many days I fail to see Joely's strengths and consume myself with her shortcomings. <br />Our experience with changing behavior in our kiddos, is similar, it never happens in our time frame.

I try to just focus on being a witness, let his life unfold and being there to lift him up when I can. ((hugs))Lorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590402368207743547noreply@blogger.com
