This began as a blog about parenting my son Nathan, who has Down Syndrome, as well as my thoughts on topics relating to disability. With the addition of Nathan's sister to our family, the focus is now on the development, both typical and atypical, of my kids, as well as my thoughts. Watching development unfold is amazing, whatever the pace.

Is our baby ready yet?
Cianna had the opportunity to encounter some newborns recently at music class-- one of the other children in the class has twin baby sisters. Cianna entirely ignored the class and the instructor for most of the hour, and just wanted to see the babies, touch them, and "help" them. Hopefully she wasn't too much of a pest to the mom. She is very much looking forward to the birth of her brother and asks me all the time if he's ready yet. She also told me she will be "a mommy to the baby" and he will have two mommies. When her brother actually arrives in early October we will have to figure out what she can do to help. I'm trying to prep her for such concepts as the idea that she won't be able to walk around holding him! "I carry him". Nope. So we will have to figure out what she can safely do for her baby brother!
