It is soooo hard when other parents/kids don't want your kid around or write your kid off as less than a desirable friend.

You can really see just from the pictures how close Scarlett and Reagan are. How wonderful life is when you have a best friend. <br /><br />i wish we lived closer, I could really use another "close" friend nearby, who loves me (and my kid consequently) unconditionally.Emily Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13571061298648625346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22755516.post-65634025260787018132012-04-15T23:54:43.864-04:002012-04-15T23:54:43.864-04:00You have such a gift for writing and I LOVED heari...You have such a gift for writing and I LOVED hearing your perspective on being Reagan's mom.<br /><br />"I am at the mercy of other people being patient with us." I think I will remember that line for a long long time. This post has reminded me that we need to nudge our children to expand their circles to include the kids they might not think they have much in common with.<br /><br />Well said, my friend.

Maybe I need to come up there for a quickie visit!! I have to say, autistic or not, I think these kids of this generation are going to be so strong!! The things I learn for Nora is insane!! They are already so strong at this age. Your right, Regan will be stronger than most. I can only hope Nora will stay that way! I worry about "peer" pressure with her once she gets older. UGH! ok, went kinds of random there! but I think you are an amazing, woman, and MOM! :)Nicole Bolingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08469568175578856398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22755516.post-55264368522108508892012-04-15T22:16:16.912-04:002012-04-15T22:16:16.912-04:00this was so beautiful. thank you for sharing your...this was so beautiful. thank you for sharing your feelings, heidi. i wish we lived closer. :( perhaps one day...Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987971682315087984noreply@blogger.com
