kids love water



Damonito loves the pool. This year he is tall enough to stand in the big pool with his head out of the water. He's getting so tall.











He loves the little pool, too, because he can reach the sand to play with it. Yep. It all ends up in the pool. Damonito picks up the sand and rubs it into his palms until it falls into the water then he picks up another handful and does the same thing. He does this over and over.






People with epilepsy are 5 times more likely to have mental health and behavioral problems. Damonito has "obsessive compulsive behavior" that is directly related to his epilepsy.

Children who experience generalized seizures are more prone to problems with inattention and hyperactivity. He's in his own world. Only occasionally catching your eye and smiling just to let you know he's having fun.
