He has a job that he enjoys and is very loving. Although he can hardly speak, he seems to get his point across. He seems happy as can be. I see my little man and that's all I want.. for him to be happy. I am hopeful that I will be able to understand him, that he will get to do anything he wants to.

I remember having some of the same thoughts and hesitations when we attended our first BW. Kayla wasn't quite 3 months yet and I felt like we were just jumping right in to this new community, this new normal... but at the same time a little nervous, unsure, and wary for what that meant and how I would feel meeting, or just seeing, so many people with Ds of all different ages.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02441176684416139172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665234671536662968.post-35111100363030254642012-05-23T13:47:28.153-04:002012-05-23T13:47:28.153-04:00We met a family in the grocery store one day and t...We met a family in the grocery store one day and the gentleman came over and saw Alayna (age 1) and said, "you have to meet my son". Aidan and I were confused for a second until he went and got his son who also sports that extra chromosome and was 25 years old. <br />It was fun meeting them and hearing how their journey had already been SO very different from ours. But, the amazing joy that they still have was evident.Rochellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11866781944242761406noreply@blogger.com
