Jimmy at Build A Bear


The only negative of our weekend Build A Bear trip was Jimmy's reaction to it. He was completely overwhelmed by it. Before the tubes worked, the adenoids were removed and Jimmy could hear well, you could pretty much take him anywhere and he would not be phased by it. Saturday he was completely overwhelmed by the noise and busyness of it all. He gathered this little dogs, ran off to a corner (followed by dad) and hung out with them. He wanted no part of the experience. I felt bad that we chose something that he was effectively left out of, but what can you do?

I think kids with special needs are that much more special. They don't follow the herd. Our hearts break all the time with my daughter, but then the achievements mean that much more. We just had her tested for Gluten Sensitivity and Rast (some sort of wheat allergy test). You had mentioned Casein was a bigger deal though right? Do they have a test for that?
