On Another Note...

It's been a long time again. You can't imagine the whirlwind of events in our lives. Coming, going, playing, playing, playing!!! Sorry for the lack of updates!

The Knight's are doing fine! The girls are growing tall and loving life! Logan is quickly becoming quite the 'class clown' and Leah is becoming quite the verbal little girl! (Thanks to all of the intensive therapy from Miss Kate!!!)

I'm blogging a short little snippet today as there's something that's been bothering me for some time and it came to heads today! As you all know...there is a politically correct way to state everything...from the way you address strangers, to the way you order your food! But also the way you address my daughter! I can't tell you how many people address Leah as "the Autistic Child" or the "Autistic Girl". Sorry folks, this is Leah, she's a child with Autism. You see it's "people first" language. It makes a big difference in a mother's eyes. Autism doesn't define Leah...Leah defines Leah...Autism is just part of her life.
