LTP: That's great about Trey
I
at the part about him telling on himself.
I said over on the Man Report, but I hope Buzz gets well soon!
Slowly but surely he's getting better. He made me go get him tacos the last 2 days for dinner. At least he's eating.
That is soo cool about Trey, I bet you are glowing with pride and joy.
I am. He's such a sweetie!!
That's so great. I bet that made Buzz's day when he told him to smile. The part about him telling on himself is hilarious! Stinker! 
I hope you can all stay well. We've been sick on and off for weeks. Nothing as serious as Buzz has had this week, though. 
We've all beeen sick off and on too. Me for 3 dang months. I was teasing Buzz a little today about being sick and he said, "Well at least I'm not sick for a month!" I corrected him, "
Three months!"
He then got mad at me for making him laugh!! It hurts his chest. It's actually kind of funny to see him struggle not to laugh. He keeps telling me to stop being funny, but I'm not-I'm just being me!! If he thinks I'm funny, that's his tough luck!
Linnie I got all teary eyed reading about Trey's progress.
Special kids have a special place in my heart.
I am going back to college this summer to finish my teaching degree and I have already met with a friend in special ed to ask her lots of questions. I am thinking about specializing in that. That's what you have your degree in right?
I put my education on hold so I could stay home with my children. I am very excited about going back to school. (Yeah, I'm 40 but I'm 40 young and fabulous
)
BTW, sorry about Buzz. Glad you took him to the doctor. Not something to play around with.
I do have my degree in special ed. I taught for 4 years, then moved to a morning kindergarten class, then "retired" to raise kids. Those young un's with special needs capture my heart. I can't resist 'em! Especially ones with Down's Syndrome for some reason. Trey has a kiddo in his class that is just awesome. He has Down's and he's so friendly to Trey and kind to him. I wave at the bus everyday and he's the only one that waves back to me-including Trey! He never waves at me. I grew up with this boy's dad (used to have a huge crush on him in fact!!
) I've never told his dad who I am. I don't think he recognizes me. I hope not anyway. I used to be an idiot around him.
that is great to hear about him and funny that he told on himself.
I think I left it on Buzz's report but I hope he feels better soon.
Trey has a thing for flaunting the rules. He walks around the house wearing shoes, eats all over the house, smears up the windows... If it's a rule, he's breaking it. I always find candy wrappers hidden in his room!
Linnie,
I don't post much on the Man Report but want you to know that I follow your family like my favorite soap opera!
You are such a fun and loving family.
I'm so happy to hear that Trey is making such wonderful progress at expressing himself! Hooray. I'm sure that has a lot to do with having such loving and proactive parent advocates.
I am hoping Buzz is much better and that you and LG don't get sick!
I am a teacher, and I feel that I have been put in an environment of bugs that are out to get everyone in their path. We had 15 teachers out sick, and the kids that come coughing and dripping are driving me crazy. I have been trying really hard not to touch my face and to wash my hands evert chance I get.
Get well Buzz!
Deb
Thank you! Soap opera family! I'm so proud!!
We're definitely an unusual bunch. I always tease Buzz b/c he dresses very well and then here we come schlepping along. Me in my good sweats and (hopefully clean) t-shirts, kids in jammies. I believe in being comfortable!
I've often thought of trying that Airborne, but I don't know if it really works. That was invented by a teacher. I know what you mean though-kids coughing in your face and stuff. I remember the kids putting fingers in their noses, then grabbing my hand to hold it. I told my MIL yesterday you could almost see the germs invading your body. This has been a bad year for sickness. I look forward to warmer weather!!
Linnie, its great to hear your little guy is comming along!
Now I know this is a dumb question but.... When are you guys leaving for DLR?
All I know is that its soon.
We are leaving a week from Sunday. So that would be the 2nd. My mom is going out of town too. She and my brother and his 3 kids are driving to Tucson to visit my aunt.
Now that's an entertaining family. I spent one night telling stories about them to one gal and within 5 minutes, I had a total captive audience, begging me for more stories! They live in the middle of the desert and are just absolutely nuts. Only they don't know they're nuts.
Oh, Linnie, that's terrific! It makes me smile for you all.
I hope you all stay healthy - we've had fevers off and on all week.
Fevers are horrible. I hope you all get better soon!!!
Linnie, Thats terrific about Treys progress! And very sweet that he was concerned about his Dad. You guys are doing a terrific job with him.
Thank you!
He's a sensitive little guy and so sweet. His teacher told me he lights up everyone's lives. It's so unbelievably nice to hear good things about him coming from school.
Linnie, I am so sorry Buzz is so sick, I hope he gets better soon. I also hope he doesn't give it to any of you.
I was so happy when you told us about all the progress Trey has been making, it had me in tears. I had to tell Bill all about it. It is so wonderful 
.
I hope he gets better soon too.
I miss him and he's only in the basement.
Trey is really coming along. Thank you for your kind words. I can hardly believe he's using the word "I." It's something so minor, but so huge for us. When I tell my family about what he's able to do or the progress he's making, they just kind of look at me like, "Yeah, so?" I'm not sure if they mean it that way or if they don't really realized how disabled he really is and that these are miracles. There are things he does, that I don't let him do and tendencies that I try to stop and they think he's really funny doing that stuff. I've tried to tell him it's not a good thing, but they don't seem to get it.
I'm so thankful to have my DIS friends that are excited when he makes progress, because I really don't have anyone in my life that gets excited over that stuff and it is exciting!!
I've heard people say more than once that it is so sad that Trey is the way he is. I feel blessed because I get to see God's miracles in Trey. I realize now how complex speech and language is. I never even thought about it before. If I didn't have Trey, I wouldn't be able to really be thankful for the "small" things, which to me, are miracles.
Time to kiss my sleeping babies! 
That's a cute smilie!

(hmm, couldn't find a smiley toasting, so I chose a genie - here's to all your wishes coming true!).
