Guess what made this little boy so very happy??? Was it climbing the tree? No, he did enjoy that; but that wasn't it. Was it playing outside? No, he loves doing that too; but that wasn't it. Was it watching the train, that you can see from our house? No, well yes, that probably did make him this happy; but that's not what I'm referring to.....
This little boy....my SPECIAL needs little boy....my just plain SPECIAL little boy....my boy....
WON....not one,

....but two
FIRST PLACE RIBBONS at The Special Olympics!!!! YESSIREE....He sure did! He won first in the 50 meter dash and first in the softball throw! YESSIREE....He sure did! And he was proud, and so was his family!
As I said, they don't call them "special" for nothing!
