Where did it come from?

My friend asked me.... why the title "To Catch a Bird?"

Simple.

Deb, my mother in law said we really should write down the activities we did/do to help the boys.
Nick and I were discussing what she said on the way home and he said, he didn't know how we'd start it but he know what we would title our writings.
"To Catch a Bird."

He said having children who were non-verbal was tough.
Teaching them to talk was tougher, as tough as trying to catch a bird.

I loved it, so I used it.

It made me tear up, but we have our little birds by the feathers, just need a bit more to pull them down.
