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.

Moving
I haven't posted in a while. We've been busy, working, going to school, therapy, baseball, gymnastics, and buying a house. We are in the paperwork phase of house-buying, and starting to sort through and pack the things we don't use too often. We plan to move next month. Each of the kids will have a bedroom. We decided that the boys sharing wasn't really feasible with Nathan often getting up between 3:30-5:30 and hanging out in his room until I get up (usually 5:30, definitely not 3:30!). Evan and Cianna share now, but that's not going to work long term. We are staying in town, so Nathan's educational services and supports will not change. He will continue to be bussed to the school he currently attends so he will get to keep his fantastic teacher and the other professionals who work with him. When his siblings get bigger, they will attend our neighborhood school which is very, very close-- we are a few houses down from the back bike entrance to the school. Nathan went there for K and first grade and will go there for summer school this year. It's a good school, and we can play on their playground on the weekends if we don't feel like walking .6 of a mile to the park. It's exciting, and also stressful. Hopefully it won't be too much stress on the kids; we will stay in the same community and the same schools, and we will move closer to one of Cianna's best and oldest friends, who we met at a mommy group when Cianna was maybe 2 months old. It's going to be a lot of work, though. We've been in our current rental 12 years, and have accumulated a lot of stuff! Evan is helping me pack...
