Interested because of her origins (black, adopted), age (about my boys' age) and progress (our guys get help from Infant/Child Development and will likely qualify for Special Education Preschool at 3, like N). You say she has global delays but you always write about her talking. Our trio are about the same age and don't even put 2 words together and barely speak many words. Sounds like N is not delayed with language??<BR/><BR/>Did she ever get surgery for her "wondering eye"? So curious about this very cute little girl. And you're right, nice braids! :)Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10142069245960848781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12830417.post-50012821031148168492009-03-01T19:24:00.000-08:002009-03-01T19:24:00.000-08:00So glad you are back!

I couldn't believe that I had found some one that I identified with so much, some one I had never met before--(blogging--what a trip!)And now you are back, so cool. My beautiful, joyful and utterly precious Sophie Grace (Sophia) just turned a year and a half this month. Never, ever thought this would be my life--was devastated that morning in my hospital room when I was told my baby daughter might have Down syndrome--but you are right, the biggest deal and yet not a big deal at all, she is just my baby! I would never go back to life without her or have her be "typical" --she is my Sophie and she is supposed to BE. I just didn't understand! I would love to have someone who is as talented a writer as you are, articulate the amazing journey, development and milestones and just pure, pure joy. Some "enlightenment" --somehow, to educate and maybe it's gonna have to be we moms that do that, not doctors or politicians. Maybe get the stats down to 88%? Hope your weekend was fun...

She is one of my eight children. There wasn't blogging when she was born and now I haven't specifically blogged about raising a child with Down syndrome because she in "just one of the kids". Yes there are things that are different about her and challenges for her, but all kids have challenges right? All of us have differences. Our families life is not just about Down syndrome. In fact Down syndrome is just a small part of our life. So it doesn't take top billing. I would feel weird focusing my blog on just one of my kids. I feel the best way to show the joy of having a child with Down syndrome is to show how normal life with Down syndrome can be.<BR/><BR/>That picture of Grace and her leg made me laugh. My girl used to do that with her legs. She still amazes us with her flexibility!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17177641890183663700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12830417.post-87271238701830759082009-02-23T03:04:00.000-08:002009-02-23T03:04:00.000-08:00Guess who told me you had a new comment...dad!! ...Guess who told me you had a new comment...dad!!
