And everything I've seen shows me that you struggle well right along with Cade.<br /><br />I will say that as someone who works in a middle school, I see special needs kids in classrooms all the time. I'm honestly surprised quite a bit more often at how caring even the worst of our kids can be to our special needs kids. That's not to say that I haven't seen the opposite. More often however, I see good things happening. It seems very different than what I used to see in school, and usually in a good way.<br /><br />Thank you for your blog!<br /><br />Suzanne :) <br />Suzanne Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184332941628294891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232328147422730907.post-47568309750271735462013-08-16T09:03:59.085-07:002013-08-16T09:03:59.085-07:00Thank you Tonya or sharing your friends story!

She too has struggled the same way. Been frustrated, tired, and just plain mad! But.. She gets up everyday like you a new day and tries to do her best. Their family has done a great job. Nick just graduated this year from high school and is an amazing young man. You are not alone and yes you are normal in all your feelings. The most important thing is God knows your heart. He knows how much you love Cade. In the flesh we get frustrated and tired but that's ok. When he blesses you with another day with Cade rejoice!!!!

I bought some clothes made just for a nursing mother and they had easy access discrete openings in just the right spot so I could nurse my babies and it appeared that I was simply cradling them in my arms. I always hooked them on and then covered and no one even knew I was nursing! it was wonderful! My kids were both good nursers and I loved the closeness and the special bond we had. No one could feed or comfort my babies the way I could! It also helped me lose my pregnancy weight fast and nursing also reduces the chances of developing breast cancer. I have just returned from an extended stay with my daughter to help her with her first baby! She is doing an outstanding job nursing a preemie! I simply could not be more proud of her and how she is providing nourishment and closeness as she feeds her baby boy in the most natural way God intended! I do agree with you that in America modesty is appreciated because of how our society has sexualilzed women's breasts. It is best as a woman, to not expose your aerola and nipples for other men to see if at all possible. As you said, they are men, and they are wired to be aroused by sight and we as women don't want to be the cause of arousing any man except our own man/husband! :) Thanks for sharing! Love you friend and I'm so proud of you!

I come across this on a regular basis as an observer when new children start the schools we are in and even the teachers seem offended when I notice delays in the child and ask questions....but it helps so much to know so that I can engage the child on whatever level they are at, helping them to feel accepted and successful in class!
