Joy’s Week

Joy helping me make brownies.  And if you are a Dora Fan, yes, she was singing “Bate, Bate, Chocolate!” 

Joy wanted to go on a walk, with her baby.  Sammi took her.  Of course her baby and its carrier got too heavy pretty quick and Joy handed them off to Sammi to carry!

Wednesday, 3/21, was World Down Syndrome Day (3/21 – three copies of the 21st chromosome) 

Happy Day from us to everyone!!

Joy got sick again this week.  Another sinus infection, poor thing!

Joy and Bella spent quite a bit of time at that table on Saturday.  It was so cute to watch them play together.

Potty Training

isn’t happening around here.  I thought some exciting new panties might help.

I bought a bright and exciting package.  In my excited voice I told her I bought her something.

She took it all excited and then saw what it was, “No thank you.” she said, handing it back to me.

“I all done.”  Sigh.  Deeply.

Joy’s Week

 

Monday night we went out to dinner.

After Joy’s adoption was finalized, we had the kids sit on this bench.  We have added two more kids, but what a fun picture!

I had to have a smal growth from my face.  Sweet Joy, being so nurturing, was so worried.  She must have asked me a million times if I was OK?  “Mommy, owey-hurt.  OK?”  Sweet girl!

The weather is beautiful.  We are spending a lot of time outdoors.

Joy loves to leave the house!  We likes to go!  If she can’t go somewhere every day she is devastated.  She’ll run up to me and ask, “Me?Joy?” while patting her chest.  She wants to know can she go?

Speech with Moon Sand (it feels funny!) and a horn.  She would blow it and screams “Happy Dirthday!”
