Just Day-to-Day Stuff

Good morning,
I'm writing this on my day off so it is actually morning! There's nothing
major going on around here just little, normal day to day stuff.

A day-by-day chronicle of life with my daughter Jessie (who has Down syndrome) as she transitions into adulthood and teaches me everything I need to know about life, love, passion, brokenness, and how to enjoy, really enjoy, a hot fudge sundae.

I read Dave's post. It truly moved me. I think we're all guilty of parenting in a way because of Down syndrome opposed to in spite of it.
Since we knew prenatally that Gabe has Ds, I feel like my hand has been held all the way along, and perhaps I learned to be self helpless? It's truly a continual balancing act to ensure Gabe is independent AND supported. It exhausts me some days just trying to figure out the 'right thing'.
But, bottom line, is that Gabe gives us the cues. More and more we hear his exclamation of "I do it!". When I think about it, it must be exhausting for him some days too. ;)
