Preschooler's Comments
Yesterday while picking up Kiana from preschool, as we were walking away
I overheard three boys wondering why I used a cane. One boy said it
was because I was old. Another boy said it because I was injured. And
another said it was because I was too skinny, which I heard him say
several times, as if he knew the answer. Kiana didn't seem to hear, or
if she did it didn't seem to phase her, but I wonder at what point she
is going to wonder why I'm different, or if her classmates ask her Another day I had a boy ask me why I only used the cane on the sidewalk but not on the grass. Three and four year old children are so observant.

Heather, I love your blog. My baby is only one, but I think about this often and how me being disabled will effect how children treat him. I just started my own blog at www.adaptolution.com, and would love your feedback.
