Taylor's last day of school

Putting Taylor into the Special Ed program was the best decision we ever made. He overcame so many of his insecurities and is a much more confident boy than he was last year. Miss Victoria and Miss T helped Taylor in ways I could not. They were awesome teachers. I also think that being separated from Logan really helped Taylor. He wasn't always bossed around or redirected by him. Taylor got to be his own person. He got to speak and behave the way he wanted to, without feeling shame or embarrassment. I know Logan doesn't mean to make Taylor feel that way. He means well. He wants to help Taylor. But he doesn't always know how to do that. Logan has a red personality. He is very focused, competitive, spontaneous, witty, outgoing, and eager. He directs in ways he would want to be directed. But Taylor has a blue personality. He doesn't respond well to the "tough love". He needs loving encouragement. Taylor is compassionate, imaginative, detail-oriented, caring, and a dreamer. It's funny that Logan is so much like William and Taylor is so much like me. They are identical twins, but their personalities could not be more different. I love them both so much, and I embrace their differences and their sweet personalities.
