I love watching them play. 🥰
This may not seem like a DS awareness post—Lydia isn’t even in it! But here is the thing: Yes, Down Syndrome impacts our lives, but Down Syndrome is not our lives. Even for Lydia. It is one tiny aspect in a world that keeps going and (minus 2020) looks very normal. Just like in any family, a new family member brings unique contributions while still fitting into the unit as a whole. Life did not end for these two (or any of us) when Lydia was born. It got deeper. They still get to live and be themselves, and I am here for it.
