Okay some of you may remember I posted about my bro and SIL finding out their son has DS. They are coming to terms with it as we all do. Anyway, Haley who is 8 is well known around town ;D and my sister had taken her to a local grocery. Haley tells all the checkout girls (they ALL Love her) that she has good news, she is going to have a new baby boy cousin. Then she says he's special just like me. All the girls agree they say to Haley yes you were a baby once too! Haley says no, he has down syndrome just like me. Well mouths drop they aren't sure what to say. Haley smiles and says "Well what do you think about my good news?" Yes, everyone else smiled too ;D.

WOW.. what a COOL cousin! Haley is going to be one GREAT cousin!!!!! Too cute! By the way... if you don't mind me asking.. was it just a co-inkydink that you and your brother both had children w/DS? IT's very cool if you ask me! I mean, what are the odds... and what a GREAT support group!!!  Have fun with the new baby boy when he arrives and tell Haley to have fun with him too! A. |

A. we are told "just a fluke" in both situations. I was 34 y/o and my SIL is 42 now. As was with us, this is quite a shock to my bro and SIL, they do seem to be comig to terms with it. They have another child (daughter) 1 1/2 y/o and I think she will also be a terrific role model for her brother . And you all are right, I think Haley will be the best cousin too ;D |
