In Canada we are celebrating Thanksgiving weekend. In honour of the 31 for 21 Challenge for Down syndrome awareness, I thought I would mention 21 things that our family loves about Wysdom and are thankful for. So here we go...
We Love:
- His smile
- His laugh
- The way he looks at his sister Blyss
- His love of music. He swings his legs while he sits in his bouncy chair when music is played
- His endless babbling and cooing
- His strength during open heart surgery
- How he always overcomes difficult times
- How he smiles with his eyes
- When he blows raspberries
- His ability to make our family and extend family stronger
- The way he sucks his toes
- Watching him use his feet in many acrobatic ways
- The way he says dada
- How he can watch himself in the mirror for ever
- How he is willing to do anything during physical therapy even though the toys are sometimes far out
- How he splashes in the bath tub
- When he grabs his sister and looks like he is going to eat her up
- The way he makes doctors and therapist smile and laugh
- How he melts the hearts of so many.
- His chubby cheeks
- How he has taught us to LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY
We love you Wysdom and all that you have brought to our lives. We are so thankful that you are here and we are so happy that we are your parents.

Happy Thanksgiving! What a beautiful list!
Oh Sasha, this list just filled my heart with love and joy! Thank you so much for sharing it. Wysdom is a precious miracle and not a day goes by that I don't think fondly of your dear family. This Thanksgiving, I am grateful for Wysdom and for all that he has taught me so far through his strength and sweetness.
Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving. I came over to check out your blog since I saw that you posted on mine. Let me just say that your son is absolutely adorable! Love the pic at the top of your blog! You are right we parents of children with Ds have so much to be thankful for. Your list is a great expression of that thanks. Hope to read more on your blog in the future.
