I was going through my son Matthew’s backpack when I saw an envelope in the bottom of it. Immediately, I knew it was a “thank you” card from one of his    36   . Totally not necessary since my Christmas gifts to them are my way of saying, “Thank you”. I    37    I read it quickly. And then I stopped.
I    38    the card and read it again. One word caught my attention. “I love working with our Matthew.” One word. Our. That one word    39    the meaning of the sentence for me. If she had written “I love working with Matthew”, I would know that she loves working with my son.
   40    by adding that one word, “our,” it meant “I love working with this boy who    41    here, is accepted here and we all take responsibility in caring for.”
I    42    knew this of course, see a blog I wrote previously, but it’s always good to be  43   . In that blog post I mentioned ten reasons why his    44    is the right place for him.

As we went around the room and the staff    48    us on information about Matthew, it was apparent it went way beyond sharing what he is doing    49    and behaviorally. Each person had a unique little    50    to tell about Matthew. Stories that show that they really know who Matthew is and that they    51    him.
In fact just today I had written a note in his communication book that it was    52    Matthew to see new snow and not be able to play in it. Later in the day I got an email and a picture of Matthew    53    with snow in a big container inside the school.
As I was reflecting on this, I realized that as a family we are really lucky    54    school isn’t the only place where they think of him as “our Matthew”. It    55    to other parts of our lives as well — our friends, our family, our neighborhood, and our church.

It might sound unbelievable that two kids under the age of ten would choose to hang out at a hotel instead of going to Disney World, just minutes away, but that’s exactly what happened when we visited the new Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort last month. What kind of a hotel makes kids forget about Disney World?
Check In: As I was signing the necessary paperwork at the front desk, my kids were taken away by Wayne, the receptionist, to a large interactive map of the resort in the entrance hall. Wayne used the touch screen to show the kids the entire resort and talked about all of the fun things to do, like the kid’s club, the waterslides, and the game room. I’ve never seen so much attention paid to the kids at check-in — such a cool touch.
