PostHeaderIcon 21 Things I Love About Erik (for World Down Syndrome Day)

4:45 PM | Posted by Missy | Edit Post


It being World Down Syndrome Day today, I wanted to brag a bit about my own little slice of Down Syndrome heaven: my little boy Erik! I want to share 21 things about him because his little extra chromosome is on the 21st set of chromosomes and that little extra one is what makes him special. :o)
  1. He's so stinkin' cute!
  2. His little laugh is contagious.
  3. Any kid who wears glasses is automatically cute.
  4. He says, "La la la" like no one else.
  5. He loves to cuddle with me on the bed and watch TV, lying his head against mine.
  6. He loves his family, especially his big brother Reese!
  7. He talks to his babydolls (sorry, Markie!).
  8. He is VERY easygoing and will go with you and do anything you want to do, willingly.
  9. If he gets mad, he gets over it in about 2 seconds.
  10. He's got a FABULOUS smile!
  11. He loves stuffed animals.
  12. He loooooooves music!!
  13. His daddy would say that he loves classical music best, and yes, it is true!
  14. His little toes are precious.
  15. He loves, loves, loves to look at books, which his mama loves!
  16. He loves kisses and hugs.
  17. He's very squooshy and cuddly.
  18. He has more fun in the bathtub than his best day at Disney or Universal Studios.
  19. He is gentle with the dogs, even if he lets them lick inside his mouth.
  20. He enjoys school, and eagerly meets the bus each day.
  21. He was made in the image of God.

If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap.
If you want happiness for a day, go fishing.
If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.

It is not the will of your Father that any one of these little ones should perish. Matt. 18:14

Whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me. Matt. 18:5

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
