Product Recommendation- Digital Arts & Crafts Studio & Sweet Story...
I have a product I'd like to recommend for everyone that has children, and especially those with special needs. But first, the story behind the product...
T'was the night before Christmas-
(well, I think it was 3 nights before)
I was all settled in, making supper, putting around the house, expecting a nice quiet evening. All of the sudden, I heard a knock on the door. I opened it- there was a young woman, someone I had never seen before- standing at my door. She had a package wrapped in Christmas paper. I didn't quite know what to think.
She went on to explain that she was someone whom I had spoken to by email a few times, and that she was delivering the package on behalf of a 'Secret Santa'. The gift was for my special needs son. She also said the Secret Santa wanted to remain anonymous, however if I really needed to know, I could find out. There was a typed note attached that said something to the effect of how she knew Cameron had a difficult time holding things, and that she had one of these, and she thought he would be able to use it.
I was standing there feeling a mixture of things- still startled by the stranger at my door, shocked, excited, intrigued & mystified, overwhelmed. Wow- how nice was this !?!?! I had a really bad, busy week, and it was SUCH a nice end to my week- this kind gesture of a friend?
Of course, I wanted to know what the gift was, and who gave it. Christmas morning we opened the box right away- and they were right- it is a GREAT thing for Cameron! It is a Fisher Price Digital Arts & Crafts Studio (I'm including the link so you can check it out for yourself) and it is really neat. It has a nice wide pen for gripping, so it works very well for him. And with all the fun projects, and the colours and sounds, what kid wouldn't love it?
I still don't know who our Secret Santa was- but I was able to tell her through the woman who delivered it how much we are enjoying it. I'd like to ask, because I'm dying to know, but it's also fun to not know and to wonder. That act of kindness really, really made my Christmas.
