My Grand niece has similar problems, Wes. With special help and very loving parents she is at last coming out of it. She now speaks and interacts and is a very loving little girl. Hang in there, Brendan will speak to you when he is ready.

One of the joys of Mudcat for me is the ability so many of you have to understand that there is nothing "wrong" with special children. They are just as nature intended them to be - complete, whole, totally loveable and to be respected for who they are. Warm and fuzzy moment.

Now...has Tris decided which ornamnet goes where? This could create a whole new midnight conversation. And have you "found" the choo choo train clocks complete with batteries and the dancing singing turkey? I love you Spaw. Actually I have a new obnoxious singing toy for you guys - a Christmas Reindeer. I will keep the tune a secret. Ho Ho Ho and hee hee hee.
