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.

Yes she wants to hold Liam


In the first photo Lupe was fast asleep.  A friend came over to play and we did everything, but she would not wake up!  Even when we put her brother on her lap.  Second photo, well, self explanatary.  A couple weeks ago I realized I haven't had Lupe hold her brother much.  When I asked her if she wanted to hold him on her lap, she said "Yes!"  in such an excited way that I realized it just simply wasn't happening enough.  Now I want to make sure that every day she has a chance to hold him.
Her excitement was similar to when, returning from a birthdday party she asked for a dulce (candy) and I thought about it, and said yes.  Now, she has hardly ever eaten dulces.  Cake, yes. Ice cream too.  But our pinatas usually have toys.  So when I said yes to the candy, she said, "Oh mom!  I've always wanted a dulce! I'm so happy!"
