October 30th

Tomorrow will be the last day for 31 for 21 and I can't believe that the month is gone. It has truly been quite the challenge for me and yet I'm glad that I've been able to do it. I'm not sure how much awareness I have raised for Down syndrome. If nothing else I have become much more aware and learned a lot about my children, myself and a number of other families much like our own. I will say, though, I think I'll rest a little better. Often times my mind would have a hard time slowing down as I thought of things I could blog about and, I'm sorry to say, I really lost sleep over it!


For some silly reason I feel as if I'm nearing the end of a book, kind of sad that it is over but I'm also ready for the end. Silly, I know, considering that I'll still be here blogging about my kids, my life and whatever else strikes my fancy. I'm not sure if this little sense of sad is over the fact that maybe I didn't get done all that I would have liked, my kids still are not potty trained and my laundry still isn't done. The good news is the laundry won't go anywhere and someday my kids will be potty trained. It occurred to me today that I taught them how to walk. How was I able to do this? Well, I know how to walk. I think the same will go for this potty business, even if it isn't on my schedule. Come to think of it, both of them learning to walk was on theirs (and only theirs) schedule. So I suppose I just will have to wait it out.

Tomorrow is going to be all about Halloween, but I'm sure I'll be back on Saturday.

See? They do like each other!
