If You're Happy and You Know It

This is Owen's mantra!

His is 27 months old and has spina bifida. We were working on balance. He was using his "sticks", otherwise known as plungers. He also takes a few independent steps to me in the middle.

Owen has a repaired cleft lip and palate so his speech is delayed. He uses several words here as well as the best N sound I've ever heard him make. At the very end he says, "gramma papa happy".

Owen is my inspiration, I have a little angel who was born with spina bifida, he name is Noah born 03.05.2009, he's doing great a blessing into our lives. Thank you very much for all Owen's videos, that always give hope. God bless you and your family

I watch all your videos over and over again. They inspire me so much! You are an example of how to love a child with special needs how not to give up on working with him. I love this new one, as well. :) Thanks so much for uploading them! :) His lip looks beautiful and he's getting so good at balancing!!! :) I guess you're the proudest Mommy. I would be. :)
