About Me

After being told I would never be able to have children, I am now a stay-at-home Mommy to Maddie who happens to have Down Syndrome. I've been married 16 years to my best friend, having the time of my life. Thanks for stopping by and sharing in our little journey through life.

Maddie's New Word

Last month, we began taking Maddie to a Speech Therapist.
Best decision ever!
It's only been a month, but she's making huge steps toward progress!

We are not focused on articulation at this point.
We are focusing more on vocalization.
Any kind of vocalization is good.
Vowel sounds, animal sounds...
it's all good.  

But we get really excited when new words pop up!
Like today.
Her new word?
"A-mote"  



perhaps we've been watching a little too much T.V.?  
but hey, at least it's helping her speech!! ; )
