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.

Avila valley barn

Such a short short time ago that I was doing this class field trip with my little Lupe. Now she is in a five day week school and I am in parent participation class with Liam. I probably shouldn't have gone this day. I think it was 100°. Literally. Doesn't Liam look sweaty and hot?
However an interesting thing happened that same night. I was reading a blog called Noah's dad. His little one is about Liam's age and also has down syndrome. October is down syndrome awareness month in our country and this dad created an idea on his blog for a "wall of awesome. ". The idea is for parents to share pictures of their kids and talk about how awesome they are. Pedro and I were looking through the photos and I saw that just a couple of hours before a mom had posted about her field trip to Avila Valley barn- hey, we were there! From what I can tell the down syndrome community is very small in this county and I was excited to know that another mom was on the same trip but with a different class. I saw through Facebook that her daughter is three and she lives in another town nearby. So I sent her a message; we'll see what happens! Always trying to make connections.
