Judah and Amanda

Judah is our first born. He was born with a rare chromosome disorder that has left him with multiple issues including mental handicaps. He's very young in his mind. Amanda seems to get that. She doesn't treat him like she treats her other brothers. She seems to understand that he needs her to be gentle around him. Last night, when I was putting Judah to bed, she climbed into his bed and started kissing his cheeks. Then she took her hand and started smoothing his hair and "cooing" a little. She was treating him as his mental age dictates. It was so incredibly sweet. She understands exactly what he needs - a gentle touch and a lot of love.
