Things I overheard in the school hallway today:
"K is the smartest little kid I know!"
K is so smart that she is going to graduate in grade 9!
When I picked K up from school at lunch today, there was a little fighting going on at the playground.......... & she was right in the middle of it! It sounded kind of like this: "I want to play with K."" No, it's my turn to play with her. ""No, I want to play with her, she's my friend!" I sat back watching & giggling until finally a little girl stepped in & said, "Let K decide what she wants to do!"
Later, during my older girl's volleyball game, I was helping in the concession & K wanted a treat. She started to grab a bag of chips off of the table. I told her "no, this is like a store, & you need money to pay for things. A couple of minutes later, as she wandered around the concession, waiting for me, she spied the cash box. She found a couple of 10 dollar bills & happily brought them to me expecting to get to buy her chips........time for another life lesson!
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!
