He had 180IQ, but nothing doing in the attention from others dept- even birthday parties and such. His parents sent him to a psychiatrist and then humored him. He has the same issues today at 35 and he refuses any social situation. Just one of the reasons we are no longer married. His parents now wish they had given him more structure and help with fitting in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6080789300460674006.post-67488372548514445102008-06-03T08:58:00.000-04:002008-06-03T08:58:00.000-04:00Cute story....already marching to the beat of his ...Cute story....already marching to the beat of his own drum, huh?Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17769967354682232429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6080789300460674006.post-34440935290388884442008-05-31T13:53:00.000-04:002008-05-31T13:53:00.000-04:00Aww - he marches to the beat of his own drummer an...Aww - he marches to the beat of his own drummer and that's a GOOD thing!Don Mills Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03733674458423525738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6080789300460674006.post-34358649540722987992008-05-31T11:50:00.000-04:002008-05-31T11:50:00.000-04:00He is so cute.

She sure wasn't hiding her face by the time she hit high school and last night at her graduation she danced on the stage after receiving her diploma, who would of thought. <BR/><BR/>The pictures of Peter's graduation are so sweet. I'll bet the other parents are thinking what an adorable little one he is and nothing else. Because it's true he is adorable.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06153847712814391815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6080789300460674006.post-35366750948835506232008-05-31T10:58:00.000-04:002008-05-31T10:58:00.000-04:00It is tough to have a child who is a bit 'differen...It is tough to have a child who is a bit 'different', and as parents to such kids, we have to learn to not give a hoot what others think and love our kids for who they are. <BR/><BR/>I've been in similar situations with one of my boys, and I'm still learning. There are times when I get so upset with him, but then I realize that the reason for my frustration is my concern about what others might be thinking about him. I am not a perfect mother, but I'm trying and I'm learning. <BR/><BR/>I love these pictures. Your boy sounds lovely!<BR/><BR/>HeidiFamily Adventurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00093360285075029799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6080789300460674006.post-60229074025502548352008-05-31T00:12:00.000-04:002008-05-31T00:12:00.000-04:00This supportive parent thing, it is not easy.I bet...This supportive parent thing, it is not easy.<BR/><BR/>I bet years from now, those pictures will be more special than the look at the camera and smile in your cap and gown type pictures would have been.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6080789300460674006.post-71801451275627277652008-05-30T18:48:00.000-04:002008-05-30T18:48:00.000-04:00What a cutie!

So much so that it is quite an irritation now that he is finishing 1st grade.<BR/><BR/>I have to say though, I have seen all four of my children graduate preschool and not one stands out in any great way. Your sweet boy will grow up and you will always remember how he tried to hide behind his mommy.<BR/><BR/>Too precious.<BR/><BR/>Lets hang in there together with our boys!Joanne@ Blessed...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07290913410660688626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6080789300460674006.post-27093090190825786552008-05-30T16:08:00.000-04:002008-05-30T16:08:00.000-04:00I think it is good that he is not willing to follo...I think it is good that he is not willing to follow the crowd.

LOL He knew what he didn't want to do for sure. Itis interesting to me though....that his anxiety revolved around when they were performing.

Occassionally my son will do something like this and my first thought is always something along the line of "Get back and participate with everyone else!" Only later do I want to kick myself and realize it doesn't matter what everyone else thinks and that it really isn't important after all. What counts is that he is happy!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing so honestly.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10766966678007928170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6080789300460674006.post-21599944076711021292008-05-30T11:28:00.000-04:002008-05-30T11:28:00.000-04:00My middle son wasn't thrilled about the cap and go...My middle son wasn't thrilled about the cap and gown idea in preschool either.

When my stepson was his age, he inexplicably refused to wear a costume for the school Halloween parade. 80 kids in wild costumes and one boy in jeans and a T-shirt. Marching along. You kinda have to admire the defiance :)Sue Wilkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06611804749003805841noreply@blogger.com
