My heart is just breaking for your poor little guy, you are right though it is good to help him stretch and grow and experience new things. You are a great mom.slynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11040707993944183551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37312462.post-69989727056397920742007-11-05T17:10:00.000-08:002007-11-05T17:10:00.000-08:00Awwww, what great family pictures.

Poor little guy, I don't blame him for being a little freaked about the flash. Your kids all look very cute Melissa. <BR/><BR/>I think the others are right, years from now, you'll look at these pictures and get a good giggle.<BR/><BR/>I SO know what you mean about the reminders of how different Little Bug is from other children. That is what makes him who he is, and he's wonderful. I'm so impressed with him, and with you as his mother. You are a good mother for helping him to stretch his limits.tharkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13959419902975113806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37312462.post-70491696169861722562007-11-04T21:18:00.000-08:002007-11-04T21:18:00.000-08:00Melissa: I think the pictures are great.
