I am the mother of a 13 year old boy, Alex, with Down Syndrome. Raising a child with special needs is both challenging and rewarding, but unless you have experienced it first hand, it is hard to fathom the minute by minute, hour by hour and day by day situations that arise. Some of the stories I have shared with people have brought tears of laughter as well as sorrow, so I decided to share parts of my journey, maybe to enlighten, maybe as a little bit of self therapy. Hope you enjoy!

It is 6:00 a.m. and Alex has decided to "move out" - which basically means he has packed up EVERYTHING in his room, things off his furniture, pictures off the walls, toothbrush, toothpaste, towels from the bathroom, all clothes hanging in the closet - you get the idea. It will probably take about 2 hours to put everything back after he decides he'll stay here with us! Never a dull moment with my bubby.......
