Michele, I can relate to the tears...most of the time we are told what our kids CAN'T do, and I know its in the spirit of helping, but man, sometimes it gets ya down. Its so exciting when our kids achieve a goal, no matter how big or small it is. Any step is a great accomplishment. Makes you appreciate the little things in life...Congrats to you, Kourtney, and your family.. Missed chat last nite...forgot it was Thursday!! gotta make it Sunday. We are still digging out here in Ohio..but it is warmer, about 20 degrees. Still have about 8 inches of snow on the ground. My little Shitzu, Rizzo, is neck deep in the white stuff...and she loves it! Maybe she's a St. Bernard in Shitzu body..Lol Still trying to get Eric back on some sort of Nap pattern..did fall asleep earlier this afternoon. Since the holidays he's been staying up all day, and then he conks out around 5:pm...sleeps till 7pm...then up till at least 12AM...BAD-BAD-BAD!! I've tried keeping him up All afternoon but he just "falls over"..poor baby! Hopefully he'll get back on track..I'm tired of watching Letterman with the kid..need my sleep! talk to ya all later.....Dolly |

Just wanted to pop in and let youall know that Kourtney had her evaluation, she is in a variable exceptionalitites class at a regular school, and the did the eval to see if there was any regression during the x-mas holiday break, and might I say that my little mama blew them away. She had no regression but had advanced and them team was quite impressed by that. Her speech and gross motor skills, all 3 of her therapists were so happy. I might add that it made me cry, for once they were happy usually they are telling what she can't do and what she should be doing and that really drives ya down, but this time the were telling me that they were happy that she is making such progress, I told them that we (family) work hard with her at home also and I hope that helps, I mean we have all of this stuff for her we have been trying to get her to walk on a 2by4 kinda acting like a balance beam and she can go half way. Before x-mas she could not even get on it. (it is ground level). I am so proud of her. But, then again I am always proud of her and her sister. Just wanted to share some good news.....Hope everyone has a great day...The morning sickness is staring to settle down, still I can only eat chicken or pork, mentally I would kill for a big steak, but right now the baby is saying NO WAY !!!! ((((HUGS))) Michele & Kourtney |

- Well I was just checking in before I go do my Recess Duty over at Kate's school -- Both Adam & Aimee are home (again!) - But at least they are well enough for me to leave for an hour or so....I think I need a break from "Mmmmooooommm!!" - even if it means dealing w/ 60 kids on the playground slipping & sliding in the mounds of snow we have -- at least it's in the 20's today -- beats the single digits we have had of late! I see some here are adding to their families -- congrats to all who are expecting -- I won't go into how laundry becomes a monster if you have more than 2 kids........! Everyone have a fabulous day -- it's sunny here for once in Rochester -- (we've only had about 5 sunny days since the beginning of the year!) - Hope to stop in later! {Hugs}! Linda PS - If any of you have seen the Harry Potter movies -might want to get your kids the Harry Potter CD game -- it keeps Adam absolutely occupied for hours on end!! And he loves "reading" all the words that come up on the screen.....so I guess it is kind of educational! Aimee bought it as a Christmas gift for Kate & Adam -- have to say I have snuck on late at night to play it too! LOL! |

RISA - I see your sweet Marissa has had Pneumonia! I am soooo sorry - haven't even checked all my e-mails yet! I hope she is all better fast! It is soooooo hard when they are sick isn't it? So little and all -- But I think they are better troopers than us adults! Glad to hear she is on the mend! :) Annie - So sorry to hear about your neice - I will definitely add her to our prayer list --- Wow! It almost sounds like a malpractice issue -- glad your sister stuck it out!! Doctors (as we all know here! - No offense to your DH Jackie!) don't know it all, do they?! Seems we all need to be self advocates all the time anymore these days....Life is just way too short! I hope she has a speedy recovery -- she's young, so I would think that would be a plus for her...... Debbie - Hi - Glad to see you post! I don't always go to the BB -- have a hard enough time getting a moment to stop here to read! I will have to get a pic of Adam scanned & into the photo album --he is growing up so fast! - Our computer w/ the scanner was down for a month -- the mother borad & power something or another was replaced & the hard drive was wiped (I guess they suspected a virus..... Gateway makes millions I think on wiping your hard drive for only $79.95 due to a "suspected virus" -- luckily we were under warrenty & needed other parts so we paid nothing!) But I am totally bummed as we had a LOT of info on there & photos too -- none of which was backed up!!!!! :( Clare - I see you are new - Welcome to Uno Mas - a great place!! - You'll meet lots of extra nice people here & then you will be addicted to this site, come here every othe waking minute & not get a thing done around the house for months - but you'll have a whole new family - so it's worth it!!! LOLOL!!! My son is also named Adam - so we have something in common! - I have never really heard of what you are describing - except I think there is a condition where your body produces too much iron -- happens more commonly in women I think - but I'm not sure... There are some links listed on this site that could maybe help -- Dr. Len Leshin is a Dr who has a site that is geared toward the Medical issues of DS as he also has a child w/ DS... Maybe you could find help there.... Good luck & keep us posted about your Adam! Hi Cheri! Aren't you just the nicest teacher??! Kuddos to you girl for loving your student Jackson so much! My Adam is 8 & he still drinks from a sippy cup - but not all the time. He still also sort of sticks his tongue out when sipping - I think part of it is cuz their tongue is just there & usually their tongues are longer than most & that's just what they like to do! In some ways I think letting Jackson use a bottle is helpful because I do think it strengthens some important muscles he may use in speech, which, when drinking from a cup, he uses other muscles -- so actually I think he is getting the best of both worlds. Mom is probably having a hard time letting her "baby" grow up -- and especially since he is the youngest!!! I can understand -- I have the same problem!! Helping him to go on to "big boy" things tho will benefit him.... Maybe you could suggest to her that she start telling him that "big" boys use a cup or a straw -- that sort of thing & I think when he is ready he will tell her he is bigger & doesn't need a bottle any more -- it may take awhile -- but eventually he'll get there!! I think we had Adam on a bottle until he was like 4 or so at least -- he eventually went to the straw & sippy cup & altho he could handle a reg cup it prob wan't until he went to Kindergarten & almost 6 before I had him drink from a cup at home (I honestly didn't want to deal w/ the spills!) He is fine now & is much more steady at holding a reg cup now & so has that at meal times - but in the car we still give him juice boxes or sippy cups! He has GREAT speech BTW & I do think besides the fact that he has 2 sisters & a Mom who are rarely quiet, that the straw/bottle/cup senerio helped strenthen his facial muscles......Just my take on it from a doting mother's standpoint!!! LOL! Well it is well past my bedtime & the kids have 1 more day of school - or being at home - sigh....(I am soooo hoping Adam is well enough to go -- he was NON-stop TALK today!!!!) So Nite Nite Uno Friends! {hugs} Linda :) |

Jackie and Emily: I am very proud of you both. You have done good and you should be very proud of yourselves. Pat yourself on the back! To those who don't know me I am just a sojourner on the internet. My name is Debbie. I usually post my messages on the BB but I thought I better post on here. It has been a while since I have done this. It is late here and I need to get off to bed but I wanted to say hi. If you read the BB I almost always post a messge every couple of day's. Read my messages and you will get to know me. Goodnight to all. |

I need your input! Jackson is the youngest in his family and "the baby". His parents have a joint custody agreement and Jackson spends some time at Dad's house and some time at Mom's. When he is at mom's house he still drinks from a bottle. He is fully capable of drinking from a cup, and he does at school and at Dad's,but his mom feels the bottle comforts him and gives it to him before bed. I know it is none of my business, but I really disagree with her choice (so does the dad by the way). I also feel that Jackson is not communicating because he doesn't have to!! At home, he is catered to by both parents and siblings! He doesn't have to request things or make attempts at speech. There. . . thanks for letting me vent a little, , ,but I really want your opinions about the bottle thing! P.S. I notice when Jackson drinks from a cup or water bottle with a cap, that he puts his tongue out like he is sucking a bottle. |

It has been a long week Marissa is battling pneumonia we have her home on treatments every 4 hours, steroids, antibiotics and oxygen and all the rest of the good stuff. She is finally over the hump and is starting to get better but I am stir crazy from it all. On a more positive note I signed her up for nursery school in September if all goes well she will attend the regular nursery school 2 mornings a week with a shadow teacher and then she will attend the special DS preschool 5 afternoons a week. I have been trying to catch up with all that is going on but have not been able to get through the message boards. Hope you are all doing well . Risa |

Well it's 25 degrees here and it's kinda funny it feels great after what we have been getting so if it stays like this I will be happy lol. I so can't wait for June to get here it's worse than waiting for Christmas as a kid lol. Michele-hope you feel better soon, I really sick with the first two but with Justin it was smooth sailing except for the fact I couldn't stand the smell of poultry and he never slept kicked morning noon and night maybe that's why he has always been a great sleeper he's trying to catch up lol. I am so glad to hear everything is going well. Dolly-aren't they the little stinkers indeed lol. I fixed Mr. Justin though I started video taping him and let his teacher see exactly what he was doing for us that he just flat out refused for her lol. Debi lol what are you talking about you are our fearless weird leader lol. Well just over 4 mos and we will all be one big happy family again :) I can't take it I'm not going to make it that long :) Well today I picked up my nephew and while I was there decided to take Justin into the gross motor room and work with him on some of the equipment there, his PT is going to check into to make sure it is OK for us to do this possible daily, she says she don't know if she could be there with us though and I said I wasn't expecting her to be I know what he needs to be working on and I also know how to do it. He just loved the tramploine but may be because it is new to him so will have to wait and see on that one. Robin- are you warming it up up there for us or am I going to have to bring it with us and oh yeah I'll bring the puppy for ya too do you need his kennel,just to warn ya he can get out it ugggh! lol. OK OK I'm just kidding lol. Tell me again what ever were we thinking. Although I think I did try to warn you lol. |

JACKIE: I love the pic...what a beautiful family! and Justin is just too cute..I like seeing pics of the families...makes me want to meet everyone even more! Summer can't come soon enough! Gotta take the "Walking Man" to therapy today...hope he "performs" for his therapists..he's a little stinker..when he doesn't want to do something, well NOTHING can make him change his mind. Eric had a change in therapists and I think he misses his old girlfriend...she was sooo good with him. His new pt is very good too, but he's just not bonding with her. Hopefully, time will change that. Talk to ya all later. Dolly |

We arrived safely and into the arms of our loving family....Zoë was already in bed, but Pierce opened up to us after a 5-minute "shy" period. Zoë sleepily greeted me this a.m. with "das gramma" so I am REALLY back in the fold!!! Thanks to Jackie, Ed and Emily, our trip down was made SO VERY SPECIAL. They are a wonderful family and made us feel so welcome and comfortable. ....what's this about cream cheese brownies, Jackie....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I shall run along side the car for 20 miles if I can get to sample those! Hugs to all... gramma joan |
