Congratulations on the arrival of your new ANGEL!!!

I'm not just being cute either!!!

I've worked with DS Children for a lot of years. Both in a Pediatric Unit at a hospital when we would be blessed to have a DS Child,.. and when I worked for Special Olympics.

I've "ALWAYS" said Downs Syndrome Children are a blessing from God. They are Gods Angels walking this earth. I mean that with all my heart!!

In our local grocery store we have a young man named Derek who has Downs, he is such an awesome person. He lives a full life and is a joy to everyone who has the luck to meet him.

The key is who they get as parents. :o) I can tell from reading your post that he was blessed with a great Mom and Dad.

The best thing you can do for your little guy,.. is to treat him as normal as possible. Don't treat him different. He's gonna bring you guys so much joy!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I will send prayers that there are not medical problems as he grows. That he will continue to be high functioning and will thrive. (Things sure sound good!!)

I just had to jump in here and congratulate you, because I love these kids.

Give him a hug from this old nurse who misses working with the kids. Then kiss those silky soft cheeks, and gaze into those sweet eyes for this Grandma (We have 16 come mid February) ok?

Gods Blessings from both of us (Hubby loves these kids too, we've had so much fun with them over the years!!!)

Down's kids are angels on earth. I used to work in an amusement park with a cowboy theme. The Down's kids from the summer camps would come and they were so cool. We let the guys who brought their own guns carry the gold to the train. They were SO serious and seem to have the time of their lives. It was always the best day

I have a 35 year-old cousin who still puts cookies out for Santa.

Many congrats, especially on your outlook. I'll get some extra z's for you.

I worked with special kids for about 35 years. Hold on because you're in for a ride.

I've had more pleasure from DS kids than any other.

Sympathize? I don't think so! I congratulate you and warn you--the kid WILL win!!! Always! You'll understand that one day.

With your attitude I think you're going to enjoy the true blessing you've been given.

Merry Christmas to you all!
