The Greater Good

Today I saw this link http://experimentalvaccines.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-greater-good-movie-trailer.html come up in my Facebook feed.

Looks like another documentary vaccines. I was able to really relate to the mom who said, "I feel like I damaged my child just by following the rules." And although I would NEVER say that Liam is damaged I will admit to the guilt I feel for not doing the research and just following the rules. I've said it before, vaccines never felt "right" to us, so we did what we thought was all we could do, we delayed and spread out the schedule. And now whatever struggles Liam may have faced in school are much worse because of the weaknesses in his fine motor skills and his struggle to find words due to aphasia. All because we followed the rules.

Anyway, take a look at the trailer. Looks like an interesting documentary. I'm not saying vaccines shouldn't be available, but I do believe parents should be more educated and given full control.

Quinn's Writing Journal

Here's a few excerpts from Quinn's second grade writing journal.

"Dear Miss M,
I wish I was in math right now!!
Love,
Quinn"

"Dear Quinn,
I know that you love math and that you're awesome at it! Why don't you write about why you like math and what kind of math you like.
Your teacher,
Miss M"

"Quinn loves math. He knows 11\2=5.5 and is even in third grade math because the square root of 100 is 10. He loves football video games. He likes football. He knows the square root of 400 is 20. He loves himself."
