Journaling about my kids (plural- wow!) for me; updates on our life for our wide circle of loved ones is for, well, our loved ones; sharing about life with a spunky toddler and the emotional highs and lows of having a wonderful baby with Down Syndrome is for anyone who might be on a similar journey.

A fine day, a grand day, a smiley day!

Here's what an accomplished day today was.  I loaded- and unloaded!- the dishwasher.  I hung diapers on the line to dry.  Inspired by my friend Sarah, who although not feeling well, still did a shaving cream art project with her girls- I cut up plastic shapes from the recycle, and Lupe and I Modgepodged colored tissue paper on them.  My husband came home and smelled food cooking.  Meaning I actually decided by 4 pm what we are having for dinner.
But here is the BEST part of the day.  While Lupe was playing in her playhouse (the fabulous one several months in the making by her fab Grandpa), I sat on the playhouse's front step holding Liam in my lap.  I thumped his hand like a heart beat: thump-thump, thump-thump, etc.  And....he laughed!  He giggled!! OMG- it was the first time he has ever giggled and I melted into blissful happiness to hear it!
