Mountain
of Sand
From JB's (father)
Private Blog. Taking Felipe, a special needs boy, to the public park,
"I
got a chance to hear Felipe interacting with a couple of calm looking
boys around his age. Felipe asked one of the boys... "You
want to build a mountain of sand?" The boy looked puzzled
and Felipe continued, "I can show you how to build a mountain
of sand it is real easy, let me show you how to do it." The
boys then looked at each other trying to figure out what would be
so difficult in building a mountain of sand? Felipe then stoops and
starts using the park sand to make what is about a six inch mound
of sand. Felipe was very excited with this accomplishment and I guess
he felt it would be entertaining to do for the other boys. The boys
looking on smiled at each other and then sort of drifted into something
else. It was nice of them... at least they did not make fun of him
or say something insulting. Later, I saw Felipe trying to interact
with the same boys, but they were not taking him on and Felipe just
drifted into doing his own thing by himself - so sad, brings a tear
to my eye just writing this."
