Needless to say, I stopped going to that playgroup.

I think it can be especially hard, knowing our kids have delays, and then wanting them to shine among their peers because that may be the only time they are "ahead".Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06474584473012742915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813501143902377307.post-65233538630946026692013-02-27T21:05:04.138-07:002013-02-27T21:05:04.138-07:00Loved seeing the comparison between them.

I only have one child with Down syndrome, but in the beginning I couldn't help but compare him to other kids with Down syndrome. And in some ways he fell short, but in some ways he was AMAZING! I'm getting comfortable with the fact that Elijah is close to three and still not walking independently, because man that kid has a sense of humor. His strengths aren't in gross motor, they are more social and it's all good. As you pointed out so beautifully, they all shine in their own time.

I am so proud of you and you ARE an amazing mom with four, beautiful, amazing kids, each with their own strengths, weaknesses, talents and gifts.<br /><br />This is a lovely, insightful post and I loved seeing the videos and remembering the old ones of Lila and seeing how far she's come. I remember watching them over and over!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17667328632288829714noreply@blogger.com
