It's been far to long. I now walk(my library is "wheelchair-free" for me!) as Mr. Librarian(I should say assistant librarian as I've been "promoted" to read to the kids three times a week and helped train the current librarian. We've got a pretty CHAMPION program, now(If I do say so myself.)). Kids at my school are like kids anywhere: they're honest to a fault and I get asked, almost on a weekly basis, something like, "Why do you walk so weird?" I have to remind myself that they're innocent and are not asking me to be mean. The best is when one of their classmates answers for me and in my defense, something to the effect, "He got in a car accident and used to use a wheelchair here."
Speaking of "milestones," I read this post to my kiddos before I publish it and our Abbers asked me what a "milestone" is? When I explan that it's acheving a goal. I relate it to her being "on point" in ballet. This she understands and wanted me to "toot her horn" here too.
