People often ask if my son, who's 6 and 1/2, and my daughter, who's 5, are twins. They asked that when she was 3 and he was 4 and 1/2, too. Remember, you don't owe anyone explanations. I've often found that simply saying, "He has some delays" is enough. It's taken me a long time to learn that. Thanks for this post. Astacia, I completely relate to everything you say.
