"look at what these 4 year old girls are doing!" Bu as Tom above says, I think I would have lost something in life had she been different!<BR/><BR/>Hugs!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17256371707801041596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13422198.post-1145496711714400012006-04-20T02:31:00.000+01:002006-04-20T02:31:00.000+01:00I know exactly what you mean.

It used to be harderst when the twins were about 6 months old and I could see so clearly every day just how that extra chromosone was making things harder for Hannah than for her brother Kit. I got myself a list of DS appropriate milestones which helped a bit. It doesn't upset or bother me nearly as much now although of course I still think of it from time to time. Now such thoughts are more likely to happen after an outing with other people's 'regular' children. Yes they are 'lucky' but so are we.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15306619273869164248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13422198.post-1145412861932832562006-04-19T03:14:00.000+01:002006-04-19T03:14:00.000+01:00I'm at a new frustration level with the middle one...I'm at a new frustration level with the middle one. She now REFUSES to sign and her vocabulary seems to be stuck on two words. I had visions of her walking and talking at her second birthday party, but I think the REALIST in me needs to come out and slap my HOPE ADDICT.<BR/><BR/>Ups and DOWNS.

We're hanging around the 2 yr old age group and they are talking in complete sentences and formulating thoughts and opinions etc and we're still trying to get Kayla to string 2 words together that she knows how to say - such "night night mommy!" (Wow that was a run-on sentence!) She plays with other kids, but it's still more parralel (sp?) play. We were at the park and the kids were playing "monster" with someone's dad chasing them around and one of the boys was telling kayla come on run he's a monster! She had not a clue what he was talking about! Of course Joe and I have never said we're playing "monster" to her but still -the other kids "got it". Anyway, just wanted to sympathize with you!<BR/><BR/>Oh yea - you've also been tagged!

I would have more money. My life would be more normal. But I think I would have lost something. There is a whole group of people (you, for example) who I would never had the opportunity to meet and share with and that would have made my life much poorer.Tom P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05638283790763940692noreply@blogger.com
