In My Own Words

There are far to many parenting memories that I have experienced with my one and only son. There is no book, or magazine that could have prepared me for all of the valuable things that I have learned from my son. We learn from each other. My pet peeve is having to constantly repeat myself, and his lack of doing things on his own. He is at the age where he would much rather watch tv or play internet games than go outside and soak up the sun. We have him in two sports right now which he does not show much interest in.

Parents I'd Like to Meet

I'm always interested in maybe finding new ways of fundraising for my son's school. As far as special needs, I have a niece who has down syndrome and would like to learn more about what services are out there for her.
