Hi
there! My name is Shane and I am 5 and a half years old. I just started
Kindergarten yesterday at my very own special school at home where
Mommy
is my teacher. I LOVE Sesame Street, especially Big Bird and Elmo and
never
miss a new episode and I can watch Sesame Street ALL day and NEVER tire
of it (poor Mommy and Daddy. LOL. ) I'm a special little boy- I was
born
very sick and spent almost my first year in the hospital on lots of
machines.
I don't run and play like most kids, though I walk really well. I can't
talk just yet, but I try to talk with my hands. You see, I can't hear
too
well, and I have to wear special things in my ears to help me hear. I
get
sick every once in a while and have to go back to the hospital. I wear
glasses and get in trouble because I like to bend them and break them
and
Mommy and Daddy get very upset. I love books, especially Sesame Street
books, and I sit in my room reading them a lot. I like my room- Mommy
painted
Looney Toons all over the walls of it specially for me. I don't like to
eat food the way most kids do, but Mommy and Daddy and my nurse,
Delores,
make me try. I have a special thing in my belly called a "button" that
feeds me. I went to a special pre-school last year, but the school in
my
town doesn't have a special Kindergarten, so Mommy and Daddy decided to
be my teachers. I love going to see my grandparents and playing with my
cousins. I have a cat, called Salem, that I pet and roll around on the
floor with. I have some special programs with Big Bird and Elmo that I
play on the computer. I've been on T.V. 3 times- once as the poster kid
for the local Children's Miracle Network Telethon. I've been in the
newspaper
lots of times too. I've met a few famous people too, like Grant Hill
and
a bunch of other basketball players, Enos from the Duke's of Hazzard,
some
soap opera stars, and even Garth Brooks signed a picture for me. I
visited
God in heaven 5 times, but He said that Mommy and Daddy needed me so he
sent me back home. I must have LOTS of guardian angels. I guess I'm
pretty
lucky! : ) My very best friend in the whole wide world is my "baby"
doll,
Mommy made him for me when I was a baby, and he goes with me
everywhere.
I never go anywhere without a hat either… when I see Daddy with my hat,
I know I'm going somewhere! I love to ride! I'm joining Cub Scouts this
fall and next spring I'm going to be on a Little League team. Someday
soon
I hope to be a big brother.
