My last blogpost was well over a year ago… clearly I will
never be cut out to be a lifetime blogger.
Here I am. My 3rd World Down Syndrome Day. I can’t
believe it. A lot has gone on in the past year. The biggest thing is that Reese
is still seizure free. PRAISE JESUS. There is still a little fear in the back
of my mind that some day we will see those again, hope that doesn’t happen.
Reese is about to start walking completely independently on
her own, she is about up to 20 steps by herself. She is pretty confident, but
her legs are just little sticks. She loves to pull her sister’s hair and do
everything her sister doesn’t like… that’s what sisters are for, right? I don’t
know! (I don’t have sisters.)
What I am here to say, amidst all of our quarantine we are
still here to celebrate. Celebrate those who are different than us. Why do we “ROCK OUR SOCKS?” We rock our socks, because
socks represent chromosomes. Everyone has different socks, but they all do the
same thing like keep out feet warm. Socks represent chromosomes. All of our chromosomes
are different, but they make up who we are. Some socks are black, short, silly,
fat, white, tall, and completely different than the person next to us. We all
have different socks, and some might have an extra stitch... just like Reese’s!
Reese’s socks show that she is speaking and signing up to 30
words. Taking up to 16 steps on her own. She and get off the bed and couch
without going face first. Also, she is actually enjoying her first quarantine. Here
we will be for World Down Syndrome Day, enjoying our day at home (thanks to
Covid-19.)
