Roodline gets help from the 3 yr olds!

               Roodline (wood-lin) is our oldest at 17 and struggles with AIDS related dementia, in which she struggles with balance and coordination.     Her mental capacity is probably around that of a 7 yr old.  She as sweet as she can be and helps with chores that she can handle.

                We found a trike, by the grace of God, when all the rest of the older kids got bicycles from friends in Texas at Christmas.  She has had a difficult time learning, but she's relentless, as she continues to try.
                 Now here's how it is working: At any given time, almost every day, you will see the three year olds' pushing her around the house.  She's getting use to the pedal action, brakes and steering at a slower pace and being powered by Marissa, Mason, Michael and Romise!

                  Since day one, our children have been like this.  We've had two groups of babies through the years and they have been fed by their brothers and sisters.  Rosemond has struggled in the past for several years, but the kids have helped him grow as well......and this all happens, many times, without the prompting of Momma or Dado!  God certainly loves little children!
