Progress!!!

Ok for most folks outside of Special Needs parenting, this may not be a big deal, specially when they have no clues about how hard things are for disabled kids.
And this may be a "so what" moment to them.

But for the ones that do understand, you'll know why I'm so excited.

I put B in his crib, laid him down, covered him up, turned his music on, said goodnights & I love you's, turned the light off and closed the door.

Normally he'll squeal with the music then go to sleep in a matter of a few minutes. I kept listening for him to be quiet, but tonight he just kept on and on, getting louder and laughing. So I opened the door and turned the light on..

That lil booger was STANDING up in his bed!! I motioned for dh to come there, cuz I was affraid I'd scare him and he'd fall. Both of us were happily surprised!! B has been "almost" pulling up for awhile now, but he'd always fall to the side.

So all of this to say B has mastered pulling up.. It just makes my heart jump when we see progress of any kind,,,this is a huge leap for him...and us!! I'm SO proud of my baby!

He's so happy to be home for good, he wanted to jump for joy! (or stand for joy!)

Congrats. I'm happy for you!!!

THERE ARE EIGHT DIFFERENT WAYS YOUR CHILD CAN DIE ON A CORDED WINDOW TREATMENT
Read "How Safe Cords Kill" at www.pfwbs.org

THREE CHILDREN HAVE STRANGLED TO DEATH SINCE ANGEL DIED ON 8/11/09.
Brandyn Coppedge died on 9/11/09. Rosie Smith died on 9/30/09 and Thapelo Kwofie died on 11/1/09. The Consumer Product Safety Commission is no longer recommending safety kits. They are now recommending that anywhere children live or visit should be free of corded window products.
