Who Has Special Needs?

Sunday Nora asked to speak to me in private and took me into a hallway.

She looked at me and asked if she had special needs (cue melting hearts). I looked her in the eyes and said “No, you do not.” Nora asked if she uses a baby voice sometimes, if that meant she had special needs. I told her again, she does not. 

She said she thought I would know since she was in my belly. 

Before we wrapped, I assured her it was a great question and that she was welcome to ask Daddy and I any questions, at any time. 

What a hard concept for a seven year old to try and understand - what ARE special needs and how do you know if you have them?
