+Jonathan gained weight!
+Jonathan started moving his legs a lot more... God's still healing!:)
+Jonathan rolled over from his tummy to his back (finally figure out how to get his legs out of the way!)
He's SO MUCH stinkn' fun!!!! I think we'll keep him!:)
Here is a poem written by another mom, but it could have come from my own heart.
Special Child
by Sharon Harris
You weren't like other children,
And God was well aware,
You'd need a caring family,
With love enough to share.
And so He sent you to us,
And much to our surprise,
You haven't been a challenge,
But a blessing in disguise.
You winning smiles and laughter,
The pleasures you impart,
Far outweigh your special needs,
And melt the coldest heart.
We're proud that we've been chosen,
To help you learn and grow,
The joy that you have brought us,
Is more than you can know.
A precious gift from Heaven,
A treasure from above,
A child who's taught us many things,
But most of all - "Real Love"

Ok, i have been looking for a poem that perfectly describes how we feel about our little Christopher, and this is exactly my feelings. I hope you dont mind if I post this on my blog as well! Your little jonathan is just precious!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely poem. Thank you for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteI use to think saying these things was just making the best of things...but this poem truly describes how I feel about my grandson who gave us quite a scare in his first few months of life due to his difficulties.I call him "the love of my life!"
ReplyDeleteI spoke to you at a garage sell you had a while back. I had lost your card and recently found it again. So glad to see Jonathan's great smile and how well you are all doing!
