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.

What to say

A friend came over the other day and at one point she started talking about Liam and if I was into being part of any support groups, or meeting other families with DS kids, etc.  Then she asked if it was ok that she talked about this stuff this way. And i said yes.  For the most part everyone has spoken to me in just the right way about my little guy.  I mean, for many it can be awkward, and people are not sure what to say.   But everyone in the beginning said just the right things, such loving support, it made me cry, in a good way.
Here is one mom's ideas:
