But then, each child is unique, special needs or not. As you said, Nichole will speak, write, read, etc. But she will do so at her own pace. So don't drive yourself nuts about what more you could have done because you LOVE her and that's what matters the most!Sabrina Steylinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10502908654294596013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18580914.post-36764240372368579822011-09-26T14:15:21.745-05:002011-09-26T14:15:21.745-05:00Oh Ellen, I always enjoy reading your words about ...Oh Ellen, I always enjoy reading your words about being a Mom to those precious girls! Each of them are so special, & you are doing a wonderful job... I know our girls would just love them! Although I do not have personal experience with a child with Down Syndrome- I agree that we ALL wonder if there is more we can be doing for our children... should we read them a story, or wash the dishes!?... should we teach them to read, or should we let them play play-doh!? It's all such a tricky balancing act. I'm so glad that God gives us His sweet grace to fill in our gaps, & He gives us the strength to do our best to do what we can!<br />Blessings,<br />Jessica<br />{{I was also wondering if it would be alright if I linked to your blog in October for Down Syndrome awareness month!?
