Went to the pediatrician today. Tests and more tests were ordered...as required for kids with DS like Ang and Julianna.
J was funny tonight...I said to her, "What is your name." She responded...."julianna." Then, I asked her everyone's name in the room, and she was able to say everybody's first name. I said, "What is my name?" She answered, "Momma." I said, "Momma..." and paused....then she said, "Momma Licata!" We all did high fives around and hugged and smiled! We only practiced our last name maybe two times....but she remembered!
Ang had a great therapy session and has gained leaps and bounds with his PT and Speech. I observed at his new school...it will be very good for him. But today, Mom had an "aha" experience. When i walked into the room and saw the six children in the classroom, I thought, "Angelo is normal. Why would he be in here?" Yes, developmentally he is right where the other children are in the room or even a little below right now...but I guess I have never thought of him as anything but normal...I wonder what others think of him? To me,...he is perfect...a perfect little angel who was aptly named...! :)
