Thanks for the reminder. I did submit last week. Dani was picked in 2006. We went to NYC. It was fun. Kind of hard on a 3 year old. Good luck all. It was an awesome experience. I love NYC and my sister came with us. Another family from Omaha got picked so we met up with them for the walk. I don't know how they can decide amongst so many precious entries. Kim

Dani sleeps with me. I think it is more "my attachment thing". However, if I ever do get involved agained--it will be a difficult habit to break. I let her fall asleep in my bed then, move her to bed. A few hours later, I hear the putter of little feet climbing into bed with me--followed by a deep, contented sigh. How can I resist. I thought I would change it once we moved. No go. I used to read and rock Dani until she fell asleep and put her in her bed when she was two. After her dad left when she was three--our ritual changed. We read and then have cuddle time before going to sleep. I have no concerns she will get up and get into anything. Thankfully she has stayed dry through the night for 3 years. I just can't get her potty trained.
I am not feeling so guilty anymore.
Happy 4th. Kim

I love it, love it, love it. Some of the songs I know and never thought about before. Other's I have never heard. The words are perfect for each of us.
Thanks for sharing.
CC-I stand corrected. What was I thinking. My bad- Thanks for the correction.
Okay, now the challange. Find a U-Tube or something playing the song. Iwould love to hear it too. I guess I am audio inclined
Maybe, I will have to burn a DVD with a dedication from each of you. Hhhhmmmm. Course, I would have to get permission from the artist or a signed release.
Things that make you go hmmmmm.
Happy 4th.
Kim

I have loved this song from the Lion King. Since having Dani, I feel it is "our" song. What songs do you consider "your" songs. Here are the lyrics. "You'll Be In My Heart" Come stop your crying It will be all right Just take my hand Hold it tight I will protect you from all around you I will be here Don't you cry For one so small, you seem so strong My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm This bond between us Can't be broken I will be here Don't you cry 'Cause you'll be in my heart Yes, you'll be in my heart From this day on Now and forever more You'll be in my heart No matter what they say You'll be here in my heart, always Why can't they understand the way we feel They just don't trust what they can't explain I know we're different but, deep inside us We're not that different at all And you'll be in my heart Yes, you'll be in my heart From this day on Now and forever more Don't listen to them 'Cause what do they know We need each other, to have, to hold They'll see in time I know When destiny calls you You must be strong I may not be with you But you've got to hold on They'll see in time I know We'll show them together 'Cause you'll be in my heart Yes, you'll be in my heart From this day on, Now and forever more Oh, you'll be in my heart No matter what they say You'll be in my heart, always Always www.youtube.com/watch?v=05MykSuOxP0

Okay.....I am having a sad moment. Dani and I moved into our new town house. I wanted her in a different school district. I should be happy right. It has been over 2 years since her dad left and almost a year ago that we got divorced. He just left, with no communication. He is active in Dani's life and seems to be a very good father. I guess I always thought when I moved--it would be the three of us and room for his two adult children. I guess I am just going through an emotional time and worrying about how I will pay for it. I will find a way. My ex used the equity in my house to build his business so was left with nothing after 12 years of owning it. It was mine before we married. My family has been great, but I am so drained by my emotions. However, this is a new beginnning of a new beginning. My ex has been seeing someone for 20 months. Dani is a babe magnet for him but scares gentleman away for me. Maybe I am lonely. The town house is new, but so many issues already. I don't know what is wrong with me. Maybe it is part of the closure thing. I guess I just need a date... I guess I needed a cyber shoulder to cry on. Sorry for being a downer---oooo--bad choice of words. I am going to pick up Dani and she ALWAYS makes me smile and when I say I love you--she says "I love you too, momma. She is the most beautiful precious joy in my life. Sometimes, it is so lonely and hard to be a single mom with a speical needs gal. However, being a single mom to anyone is hard. Thanks for letting me cry a bit. Kim

3 1/2 hours with you at the beach is the best for both of you.
Hope you had fun. It is 3:15 in the afternoon there--so keep on enjoying it.

I guess I never thought about it. I see people ask other kids for high fives all the time. I think it is just a way to open a way to communicate. You know, we as adults, sometimes don't know a way to possibly start a conversation. It is no biggie to me. As far as buddy, my dad called all his grandson's "little buddy".
Now, I say "honey" to Dani all them time--so she usually ends her sentences to everyone with "honey". Yesterday she told her teacher, "momma was coming and we were having dinner--okay honey?. Like she was making sure Miss Monique knew I was getting her.
Just my thought on things. I am older though.
I also let Dani do "pound its".
To me, high five's are pretty common. Course, I live in a State that calls soda, "pop".
Kim ;D

Beautiful, just beautiful..... I would love to get this into hands of physicians or geneticists who give the diagnosis. I wish I had writtens something..... With Dani, now being 5, I remember really seeking out what older kids were doing. And she continually amazes me every day. My best to you. Thanks for taking your time and energy to do this. Kim

Hello all, I am checking to see if anyone knows of a place I can order Down Syndrome awareness checks for my bank account. I did a google search but could not find any. Maybe someone needs to start this.....
I am moving this weekend and need to order new checks so was hoping to find something DS related. I would even like special needs.
Just throwing it out there.
Thanks, Kim
