I thought I would do a list of 21 random facts about K. Here is my list:
1. K's current favorite song is "Country Girl Shake it for Me". Is that even appropriate for a 4 yr old? Sometimes I think she's 14, not 4!

21. K is the most curious child that I know.
I started this blog hoping to inspire other parents to help their children with Down syndrome reach for the sky! My daughter was reading words, before she was 2 years of age & reading books by 3.5 years. I believe kids with Down syndrome can do amazing things if we give them the right tools. I truly believe high expectations can make a tremendous difference in the lives of our children!
I <3 that these random fact's are just as typical as can be. You showed that she is just like every other child her age! I really like the idea of 21 random fact's!
