Thoughts of the day....

There are times, more often than I'd like to admit, that I get discouraged with where Joe is at.   I just want him to be like "normal" kids his age.  But then I think of how far he's come and I am thankful.  Six months ago Joe wouldn't have been able to tell me what he did that day and now he's a chatterbox replaying for us the events of the day on a regular basis.   Just thoughts that were passing through my mind today...
