Your hopes and dreams shouldn't change for him. He can and will do all of the things he wants to do and dreams of doing. The best advice I can give (having been down the road of Down syndrome for almost a decade) is enjoy each day. Looking into the future is all unknown and scary. Just enjoy your baby and take it one day at a time. He will amaze you and break even some of your own stereotypes or limitations. Congratulations! I hope we can meet up one day.heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01061626477737855499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141608453886932535.post-42864858247437439162012-07-15T16:21:48.507-05:002012-07-15T16:21:48.507-05:00so glad I found your blog.

My sister has a child with down syndrome, Noah, age 11 now. He is so much fun. We are special friends and he brightens our lives. My sis lives in Chicago, but she is involved in a local DS support group. They have monthly meetings, activities for the kids (a yearly christmas party, a summer party, dances, and more), and she does their newsletter. She loves being able to talk with others who might be dealing with similar situations and she highly recommends it to others. <br />Have fun--enjoy every minute that you can! :)brittanydawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05325157119649081912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141608453886932535.post-66346489147444008622012-07-12T12:13:33.975-05:002012-07-12T12:13:33.975-05:00I already love your little guy.

All your babies have bee...He is stinkin' cute!! All your babies have been good and mellow. Kinda makes me jealous. He will do normal things, just like your other children, it may take a little bit more work than it did with the others. Think of all the things we take advantage of that seem so easy and come natural to us. It will truly make you appreciate what you are able and capable of doing and the things that come so naturally for us to do. It's not ignorant to think he's perfect. Yes one day you'll have to start reading about his special needs, but Finn is in a very good home. He's where he's supposed to be. Having parents and a family that have the expectations that he will be normal and do normal things, sit up, crawl, walk, run, throw balls, and do boy things is the drive that will make Finn who he is supposed to be. You are his biggest advocate and wanting him to strive to be all he can be is not being ignorant as long as you know that along the path much patience will be needed. I'm sure it's not easy, but if anyone can handle this You and Kurt got it! Love You Much!Helelnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11800986606885372609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141608453886932535.post-44010894976395523592012-07-11T17:49:52.528-05:002012-07-11T17:49:52.528-05:00Perfect title!
