Swinging And Success

There is something about a summer night.

We took a last minute family walk with promises to check the mailbox after two slides down the slide and one swing for ten seconds.

Well, he nailed the walk and went down the slide three times!

And, he swung for over a minute. On a big kid swing. While dad pushed him.

Before Cooper I never knew that swinging can be hard. That holding on takes a lot of muscle. And that it would take years just to get him on the swing. And even longer to get him to stay on it. And finally, for him to let us push him.

Nine years in the making right here. Two brothers swinging side by side. Pretty great.

After he ran through a neighbor’s sprinkler and then helped me check the mail. Unfortunately, this time it was just bills. No magazines. You win some, you lose some.

He handled it like a champ though.

Finding Cooper’s Voice is a safe, humorous, caring and honest place where you can celebrate the unique challenges of parenting a special needs child. Because you’re never alone in the struggles you face. And once you find your people, your allies, your village….all the challenges and struggles will seem just a little bit easier.
