Haven't done one of these in a while so I thought it was about time. Happy reading & happy Friday!

Slowing down to breathe - (in)courage
Words, Walkers and Possibilities - Life Rearranged
Down Syndrome: Where We Are Now - Enjoying The Small Things

Both the Life Rearranged and Down Syndrome post from ETST are a must read for any parents of special needs kids, regardless of your child's special need, even if the diagnosis is developmentally delayed. Or even if there is no diagnosis, but you just feel that life is/will be different for your child, for a time or permanently. While I cannot pretend to understand or relate to a parent whose child has Cerebral Palsy or Down Syndrome, I resonated with so many concepts presented, in both posts.
