It was so nice that all Deliverance's friends were so sweet to Stevie growing up.<BR/>He knows how to say Stephanie now because he had a classmate all through school with that name, and he's still good friends with her.<BR/><BR/>Connie -Stevie is very friendly to those he knows real well, but he is generally not that outgoing, and will even balk at people who come up to him, even if he knows who they are. But if they don't back away and will say a few words to him he will feel friendly with them real fast. It's like an initial anxiety that quickly dissipates. People in our church have come to accept that.<BR/>Truth -I feel for you. It was easy to get discouraged when trying to teach Stephen because it would sometimes take a year or two to learn the simplest things, and then forget them again. We needed to prioritize what we expected him to learn. I believe the Lord wanted to teach me patience and tolerance mostly, that's why I said in a previous post that the Lord is fixing ME.As We Sail...https://www.blogger.com/profile/00623073161014791826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5662583233080685272.post-91710740496415279132007-11-28T07:08:00.000-08:002007-11-28T07:08:00.000-08:00De told me about this and I was so excited!
