Ahhh the power of the internet

Good evening all... I'm pretty new around here so I was just having a look around, a bit like a first year starting at big school, suddenly I feel very small. Anyway, I wanted to share something that has made my year, and it is all down to the wonderful connective power of the blogosphere.

My son has complex special needs (basically he's a medical mystery, but we don't like to brag), and one of the frustrating things I have found is finding decent children's books that feature special needs children, but manage to keep their sense of humour. Well having discovered possibly the most fabulous author on the planet, I decided to blog about it, and share the news with other mums with special needs children. Well, what do you know, today, all sparkily and special I found a comment from the author herself. I had to jump up and down and hug myself somewhere that the cool-ness of this would be appreciated, so I came here. Yay!

My bloody computer is playing up so I can't look at your blog propery, which is very annoying because the bit that I saw was fantastic.

Will return after I have kicked the computer into next week

Please do MmeL it is fabulaous. Just bumping here to highlight SHE PUT HER SCHOOL REPORT on here. Renata, it is so brave and I thinkevery blogger should do that. Am going to ask my mum to send some over. It's such a great but could be an anonymous way into letting peopel know what we are like.

I WISH I had had that idea.

Hi, your blog is lovely.

I am delighted the author wrote on your blog. I have written a post about my favourite band (Danish metal band Volbeat for anyone who is interested) and would love for the singer to google himself and find his way to my blog as he is very easy on the eye and the ear Wink
