The LIFE in a year with Joshua.: Coloring pals!

Coloring pals!

Joshua is just beginning to embrace his honored role as one of Esther's older brothers. Sometimes that plays out in being bossy, which she ignores, or grabbing her, in which case she hollers for help. But today I looked up from my dishwashing when I heard the sweet, harmonic sound of Joshua pronouncing the sounds of the letters from his coloring book while Esther looked on with rapt attention. He then offered to share his markers with her and to compliment her coloring. Big steps!

Thanks for sharing this, Abby. Joshua is teaching something to each one of us, I believe.

The birth of a child....

The birth of a child always changes the dynamics of a family but the arrival of our son Joshua into our home and hearts, 8 years ago, put a unique twist on our parenting adventure because he has an extra 21 chromosome! In celebration of his 8^th year we thought it would be fun to let you, who may have spent little or no time with a child that has Down syndrome, have a glimpse of his life. We are going to take a picture or video of him everyday, (mostly), for the next 365 days, accompanied by brief comments from family members, so that you can experience his zest for living. So drop in for a minute or two whenever you can and see for yourself the life in a year with Joshua.
