Where I worked we had a teenager come in often with Tregs condition. He was a joy to be around and well versed. His parents spent much time with him to help him develope. If it were not for his facial features you would not have noted any difference. He’s a college student now.

Since leaving that job I miss seeing him!

Don’t kid yourself for one moment. The Left hates Palin because that kid wasn’t aborted. They are truly evil people don’t let anyone tell you different.

That’s what I said on the other thread. I have a Black Lab. Try stepping on her paw with a bare foot and not even all the way. Just tapping her foot, she moves.

Yea, whoever has tried to make a deal out of it was just looking for a hype...and they got it. But to those who know kids and dogs..could see thru the junk.

I don’t think Trig weighs much, seems pretty slender. My dog is small for a lab. She can knock me down and drag me if she has a mind to, and I am way bigger than little Trig.

several years ago we had a student in the "high needs" class here. This kid was a rock star everyone loved this kid. One when we had our Christmas concert the special needs kids got to do a song. This kid was out of key, off tempo and forgot some of the words. But they got the biggest round of applause.

Many of us cried when they moved out of the district.

It looked similar to the Icky Shuffle....anyway, I consider that one of the great achievements of my life. His mother and I figured out that we saved them about $100 a month in pullups alone.

there is no better feeling in the world than teaching a child and having them demonstrate that they understand it.
