YAY Justin. You keep walking. What a sweetheart and joy.
You are so right, NEVER listen to what is said. I was told to NEVER limit my daughter's potential. Your son is walking with your love and perserverence. My daughter is kicking me in the butt :0--prior post
Thanks for sharing. Kim

Dani is 5 and is super, super sensitive. When she is naughty I am very firm and explain to her what she did wrong. She will just sit there and think about it. No fights, but quiet sobs. I give her about 30 seconds and then tell her why momma was unhappy with her behavior and then have her say sorry for whatever she did. We then hug and tell each other we love each other. She is then off to play. My ex is much more tough on Dani with discipline. I wonder if I am too soft. But she has vastly improved and daycare is very proud of how much better behaved she is.
For all age groups? How do you discipline?
Dani actually enjoys Time outs? But she hates a raised voice. Am I being manipulated. Plus, Dani is my one and only so no real experience.
Thanks, Kim

The date was great. I would really like to meet his son. It was nice to have an adult life for awhile. I get Dani back today. Yay......I have really missed her. Can't wait. She was crying when I called her Sunday. They drove back yesterday and got home late. She sounded so sad. I am sure she had fun. Thanks gals, Kim

Yes, yes yes, thanks for sharing. She did not let the obstacle get in her way and forged ahead. I think of how many times, we let obstacles take away our dreams--Not this beautiful young lady.
Loved reading it.

So sorry you broke your rib. I admire you, I am afraid of rollar coasters. You are just a young sweet thing. Remember, we can deduct a minimum of 10-15 years off our ages. I am the new 30 since I am 45-tee hee. Kim

Okay two things here.
First I have had a couple of dates with a man who has a son who has DS. His son is 16. Nice guy. Too new to do introductions with kids. We are seeing each other tonight.
I feel like a nervous school girl.
Secondly, Dani said, I'm going to kick you in the butt. She is 5 for gosh sakes. Not sure where she learned it. But, I had to stiffle a giggle. I did tell her it was not nice to say and was naughty. I got the biggest boo boo face. She said she was sorry and then we hugged. However, just goes to show what things they pick up.
She has been in Colorado with her dad and I miss her soooooo much. Last night I could swear I heard her little feet pattering to my bed. I will get her back on Tuesday. I have not seen her since Wed. I know she is having fun with her dad and his side of the family.
Wish me luck. Kim

Oh my gosh, I really thought there was more time. My heart aches and tears well up as I think about him passing. My heart goes out to his family and all the lives he touched.
Thanks for posting. Kim

How do we get ahold of this idiot Saletan?
Thanks for sharing the article. Thanks to Nancy for her valueable wisdom, insight and advocacy for her child and all individuals with DS.

This is a You tube and I could not paste it correctly. So copy the link and paste into your browser to see all these beautiful pictures of children with DS, their families and listen to the music. Enjoy, Kim www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS8VFHgSDDAOkay, I guess I did. Precious. Remember to get your photo's submitted for the NDSS.

You know, you might just find Jelani's future girlfriend there. It sounds very casual and a place for people to chat about the love of their lives. Go and let us know how it went. Kim
