Raising Eli & Zachary

Eli was named the Student of the Month at his school today. What an awesome thing to see a developmentally challenged child overcome his issues and excel in school. He is so far ahead of many of the kids in reading, writing, math and science and his social skills are developing at a much faster clip. We find him playing games with other kids, maintaining and even temper and enjoying playing instead of just trying to win.

This is translating well at home when Eli plays UNO against me. He always wins, but on the occasion when he loses he congratulates me instead of getting upset. I love watching this boy grow up.
