But sometimes it's the other stuff that gets you bogged down, school districts, IEP's and Tefra. Hearing inspiring stories can help keep you focused on what's important. I would keep the book long enough to read it, then pass it along to a new family in our alliance that is just beginning their journey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24014954.post-7263258669541695552008-11-04T16:03:00.000-05:002008-11-04T16:03:00.000-05:00I would love to win this book if it's possible!I would love to win this book if it's possible!LauraJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16407359466001401500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24014954.post-46285324563225973082008-11-04T14:52:00.000-05:002008-11-04T14:52:00.000-05:00I have not read Roadmap to Holland or Gifts.

To divert the teariness that I am still prone to, I focus my reading on learning how to assist my 4 year old son, Kaiden, with his learning (and more recently sleeping). I am so excited that he finally said his name yesterday, or said "Ka-en".
