Abbrev.

When you have a child with a disability or special needs, you soon learn a new language.  And this new language is filled with abbreviations.  It doesn't take long before you find that you are fluent in the language and even tossing around abbreviations casually - as if you are a medical professional.  In fact, it's easy to forget that the rest of the world doesn't always speak your language and you find that you must often translate as you speak.
Off the top of my very tired head, here's a few of the common abbreviations I use frequently.  See how many you can define!  (You know, in case you have absolutely nothing better to do with the next 27 seconds of your life.)
PT, OT, IEP, IFSP, MD, ECI, SWA, AMC, RBE, LBE, RBK, LBK, KAFO, RX, CP, DX

Good night-

:)   Yes, I'm a dork.

One more thing... tonight, as I was making up a bedtime story for Will which involved a cowboy, a prince, a dragon, a shark, a pirate, a castle, and a princess, I let him name the characters.  The pirate was the hero and his name was Pirate Will.  He rescued the princess.  Will named her Princess Mommy.  Oh, be still my heart.  Love that little boy.  These days of being his princess are so fleeting.
