I have laughed and cried and laughed and...Marianne,<br />I have laughed and cried and laughed and cried...My son is twelve, fully developed, and I do mean FULLY DEVELOPED. In addition to having Down Syndrome, he has been diagnosed with "precocious puberty." (Seems we hit the lottery not once, but twice.)How will I do this? How will I continue to raise this man-child whom I adore? and fear? Keep the posts coming. They are helping me through.Another Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05610511834794171476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525985579775978639.post-23953839827981829632010-03-19T10:30:04.520-04:002010-03-19T10:30:04.520-04:00Marianne,

I was touched at your analogy with renewing of vows. Secondly, I couldn't help but to giggle at the magazines. At first I was trying to figure out if I really would want to give my child ( I am not a mother, nor plan on being one for quite a few years) somewhat "scandalous" magazines as a reward. I thought maybe I would want to shelter him so that the interest might die down. However, the more I pondered, I realized maybe your right. He's 25, whether mentally disabled or not. As a mother, you are trying to give him the best and most "normal" life as you can, and it's only natural that he has those hormonal desires and interests. I think what you are doing is acceptable, especially since it doesn't go any farther than Hooters and SI. I also laughed at how it was the brother who gave him the magazines. HAHA! I would say that is as normal as one can get in that respect. I also like, though I don't fully understand why, how the magazines are being used as a reward. I guess that just falls into your supervision and limitations that makes it more aggreeable. To conclude, I look foward to reading more of your blogs. I find your insight very enlightening and interesting. I have a heart for special needs children, and I'm learning to have a strong heart for those like you who are so willing to lay their lives down for them. Sometimes the mothers are overlooked and I really appreciate how you are loving and raising Taylor. <br /><br />I'll be reading,<br />BriaBriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17640900582285828558noreply@blogger.com
