Apr. 28, 2006 - Look, Mom!
Only those who have kids with disabilities can fully appreciate what
I'm going to share here. I almost wasn't sure I should, but you
know what, I know I can't be the only one experiencing this!
I would like to know why it is that kids with
cognitive disabilities mature faster physically -- but I know I'm not
alone. A lot of them do.
My twin boys, age 11, have been so excited lately because of a new something that has appeared on their body.
Pubic hair.
Oh my, I am informed as each new hair appears.
They don't miss a thing. They KNOW when they get a new one.
One of them says to his dad, "I been waiting for dis so long." And heaved a big sigh.
It's so hard not to laugh -- they are just so proud!

You are right! That is such a milestone for them! My son with autism is 7 years old, so it is still too early for this experience. But it is a special moment to remember... their awereness of the changes in their bodies.
Happy dance!!! |
