Even "abnormal" stuff was "normal." Does that make any sense? This post reminded me a lot of that. What's normal is what is familiar in your life. I know it's a lot harder for you, but Leah is "normal" to me. Not the same as kids without Rett, but she is normal to me. We love her.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12849397081573242118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908642181059119409.post-36361573990942543482010-08-03T12:57:58.774-05:002010-08-03T12:57:58.774-05:00It felt pretty "normal" to play at the b...It felt pretty "normal" to play at the beach with bean.
