Bailey has both amazed me and challenged me the last few months. She has made so much progress! She is talking in short sentences and running faster than I can keep up with. She has also hit the "terrible 2's". She is obsessed with coloring! She loves to draw circles all over anything she can touch (chairs, walls, windows, beds, hands, feet ......). We try to keep all writing utensils out of her reach, but she somehow manages to find something to color with. She is also obsessed with Reagan. The problem with that is that Bailey is not gentle. I can't set Reagan down anywhere that Bailey can get her. This proves to be very challenging when I am busy trying to get anything done. Even with all the challenges (I could go on and on with them) Bailey is my special little girl. My life would not be the same without this sweet little angel. I am so proud of her and all she has accomplished! Here is a quote that I stole from a friend of mine.
"God doesn't give children with special needs to strong people; he gives children with special needs to ordinary, weak people and then gives them the strength. Raising a child with Down Syndrome, brain injury, CP or other special needs doesn't TAKE a special family, it MAKES a special family."

I believe we are matched with our children for reasons. It is so obvious how much you love your daughter. She is lucky to have you for a mom. She is so beautiful.
I love your quote. I'm so pleased that Bailey is making such good progress.
Hugs,
