Happy New Year Everyone!

We've had a wonderful start to our new year & been incredibly busy.  Too busy to blog!  The alpine ski racing season has started for my older 3 girls, & the oldest 2 are both on the Jr. high basketball team.   My 2nd oldest has also qualified for the winter games in our province in alpine skiing, so we have been running from practise to race or game & on to the next practice.  K has also had another neurodevelopmental evaluation recently, so that & her program as well as preschool has kept us busy!

The other reason that I haven't blogged until now, is that just before I hit publish on anther post, I got thinking that maybe K should have the first word in 2012.  I have a whole list of other blog posts that I have been working on in the meantime & will post soon, but first, here is her Happy New Year's message from our family to yours!  This is the first take - no practice runs because with our busy schedule, we may not find time again until June!  I think my sleepy little girl (it was bed time - she yawns 1/2 way through) did a great job!

Oh, & my other news for the New Year is that I am now on Facebook! You can find me here: Down Syndrome Up Up Up & Away

Hope you enjoy the video!

  5. Thank you much for posting this video. You and K give me the strength I need to keep going and keep high expectations for my boy. You were the one who told me about BrillKids. My boy got the deluxe package as a Christmas present from my family. He just love it! So do I.

    He has begun to sight read single words. I am teaching and not testing, so I don't know how many words he can sight read. I am using BrillKids as my main teaching tool for sight reading words, but I am also, using 4 more easy to teach sight reading programs. The combination of all these reading program is working great for Tommy, as well as, for my one year old who is also learning to read. It is amazing how fast my little one is absorbing everything from begin around because I am not focused on my little one to read but he is naturally getting it. It is cute to watch them learning to read at the same time. Thanks a bunch for sharing your experience with BrillKids.
