[QUOTE="DDD, post: 598044, member: 35"] You're right. The "trophy syndrome" is a bit excessive, lol. on the other hand if you play soccer starting at four, add baseball at five, do golf at seven and move on to basketball at nine or ten........sigh. easy child/difficult child was often the "top dog" at many of these seasonal competitions BUT every member of "the team" received a trophy at the "season end banquets". That adds up to a mess of trophies. I do think that the only one that he will actually want to keep are the State and National ones.........perhaps only the World Series one. Anyway...it was about ten years of activity and alot of fun. Now ??? we are pleased that he is more or less functioning as an adult. It's not what we anticipated but it sure is better than addiction, jail and the other wretched experiences we have been through to say nothing of our grateful hearts that he did survive the brain surgery etc. Life has been more challenging that we expected!
