If you got here by way of one of our words at The Big Word Project, all this worked! Welcome!
Both Hands and a Flashlight started as a blog where my wife and I could try to connect with other parents of special needs kids. This isn’t a requirement of anyone wanting to join the conversation. All parenting topics are fair game, though we will focus a lot on the challenges our son is facing these days. This blog may be serious, funny, biting, full of witty repartee, hopefully foul-diaper-free, certainly hopeful, and all about doing what it takes to help your child grow into whatever little person they were meant to be.
We’ve just started recently, which has amounted to us diving headfirst into explaining everything we’ve been through and everything that we’re learning. We’re just going to catch everybody up as we go.
We just started this site so we have some design issues and features to work on. Until then, stay a while, read the posts, and subscribe to our blog. More importantly, leave us a comment! Say hi, ask a question, say something witty, say something not witty, or whatever floats your battleship.
Also, read The Both Hands and a Flashlight Manifesto and the witty introductions in “The quest to find our own asses begins”. That’ll give you the gist of things.
More to come. Again, glad you made it!
