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.

Goals: crawling and mucha estimulacion

Happy almost Easter!  This picture is beyond cute- I just love my kids so much!!!!!!
Well, all is well here.  I have overwhelmed days and good days. Liam is using his crawling ramp/track.  He inches down it but it is hard to motivate him sometimes- but I am confident it will help. http://downsyndromeupupupandaway.blogspot.com/search/label/crawling This talks about it a bit.
I also want to start a reading and flashcard program with Liam (and Lupe too)- I would have thought that was crazy a year ago but I have been reading about it and I am doing it.  Lots of prep work. How to Teach your Baby to Read by Glenn Doman descrbes it.
I'm not blogging much lately- too much else to do- researching, reading other blogs, and now I am part of a couple online DS forums.  Might make the leap into meeting other local moms with DS kids- their aren't too many and I feel excited but nervous.
I don't think we are going to Philadelphia- too complictaed to explain, but we found another organization called the National Association for Child Devlopment (www.nacd.org) with evaluations done in L.A.  More on that later.
My girl CAN DRAW!  Out of the blue she just started drawing people- it is so fun to watch!  Mostly they are pics of Ariel and Prince Eric.  Hopefully the Disney obsession will wane and the Frida interest will pick up again. Ok, more bragging: she can write her name and Liam's too!
