Walmart line

The other day I met a new mom with a child with Down syndrome - in the check out line at Walmart!  I have run into families with a child with DS before at Walmart...I think it has something to do with how much I'm there!

But this one was super neat because she was so cheerful talking about her 2 year old son and when the topic came up of how she felt when he was first diagnosed I felt like I was talking to myself!  So it's always helpful to me when I see how families are transformed at how they look at the reality of having this situation.  She was very encouraging and said the same thing everyone says about getting past the medical/feeding stuff - you will be amazed to see a different child.

For today we'll enjoy the child we have :).
