Too different, too outspoken, too outside the box for alot of people. I know this blog post is several months old but still wanted to say GO Addison! I remember when my delayed son didn't sit up or crawl til he was 11 months but was running by 13 months! Wouldn't use sign language or verbal language clear up to age 3 and now he's 3 years and 3 months and has an astonishing vocabulary! I think we appreciate these milestones more so than with children who hit them at "average" ages. Costa Rica's laid back attitude and more accepting of children is two of the reasons I want to live there. I'm so tired of the ridicule and looks I get when I take my son out in public. Makes me almost stay home most days. I’ve never fit in anywhere either. Too different, too outspoken, too outside the box for alot of people.

We are a terribly odd bunch. I was thinking yesterday that here no one judges you on what you wear, how you look... it's just so unimportant. I LOVE that because I NEVER looked right. Still don't, but I've stopped trying. Nice to meet you on Sunday. Pura vida. Seems like you are in very good company as an expat in Costa Rica. We are a terribly odd bunch.
