We went to a wonderful St. Patricks Day party. There were over 10 kids running around, decorating cookies, popping bubbles, making jewelry, and decorating easter eggs. I clutched little Maddox for dear life and couldn’t help but wonder....Next year would she being doing these things? Being around other children is hard. I even had one mom approach me and say, “When my son was born they thought he has what your daughter has.” She couldn’t even say the words Down Syndrome. Almost as if this is the plague. If you say it you get it.
I thought to myself how lucky I am. I have a baby that sleeps all night, doesn’t spit up, doesn’t have a diaper rash, likes her car seat, nurses like a champ, is rolling over, and smiling. She is perfect in every way. You know something else. People always say about themselves that their ears are too big, or their chin sticks out, or their nose is too long. Maddox has the most perfect almond shaped eyes, a small button nose, and delicate chin. She has the facial features that everyone desires.
Don’t you get it, she is perfect....
It is everyone else with the problem.
