My son is 5 years old -( almost 6). He is behind the other kids in his class - he has a learning disability that doesn't let him retain things..:-6 On my birthday - his tutor brought him home and said "give your mom her birthday present..." As she flipped through the cards we have - he named every number 1-10!

Today he did all of his upper case letters but 4 of them! He makes me think I am here for a greater purpose! I can't wait to show his teacher on Monday! He has to learn to write his last name-- A word to the wise -young ladies who are not married yet! Marry somebody with a short name like Fox or Fry........don't have a last name that has 9 letters in it? LOL:wah:

Congrats MOM it is the little stories like this that really need to be shared every day, small joys are still awesome joys. Bravo Bravo

Well done to you and your son! It's wonderful when a child with difficulties acheives something everyone else takes for granted. My son also has learning difficulties, he has co-ordination problems and finds it hard to write, I really regret giving him a seven letter first name, followed by a another seven letter middle name and another seven letter surname!!! Poor chap!

Thanks Minks!! I am just busting!! I even called my X hubby and we had a grand conversation - and he was so excited to tell Daddy what he did..We called grandma and step dad too...I am so proud of him..!! My weekend has been made..

You are such a super mom to be such a great advocate for him! Your son has a lot to be proud of too but he's too young to know it yet! My middle just turned 5 and is starting kindergarten in the fall, so we're practicing the same stuff! Your son sounds very bright to me!
