 Oh wow...this child of mine is so precious! Olivia loves when my husband and I sneak a quick kiss. It cracks her up. Now, she actually makes her babies kiss! She just made Ernie kiss the purple Teletubbie! *lol*
 
Such a fun age!

Sounds like the resolution of the picture files (usually jpeg) are too high. If
you open them in Microsoft Photo Editor and change the resolution to 72 DPI and
only send 1 or 2 per email you should be fine. Only other cause I can think of
would be if you installed a new anti-virus or recently upgraded yours and it is
not scanning them right and hanging it up.

Hi,

This has been a week of firsts and hopefully lasts.  First, Christo
has begun staying home alone before and after school.  The bus picks
him up and drops him off and he has his own key.  He knows that no
one other than the bus driver is to know he has a key.  He is so
responsible, but did have an emergency call...there was Chihuahua
poop on the floor.  He took care of it!

I had to work yesterday and today at an annual conference for people
with developmental disabilities.  It is held in a town about 3 hours
away.  Christo was going to stay with my Mum, but she was
hospitalized on Thursday with a hemorrhaging nose.  When we arrived
at the hospital on Friday, hopefully to take her home, she had begun
bleeding again.  Finally today, she was able to go home.

As it turned out, Christopher went to the consumer conference with
me.  He had a ball and charmed the pants off of everyone.  After
yesterday's lunch, one consumer was going to sing a song.  Christo
started singing along and a colleague invited him up to the stage.
Little ham stole the show.  He also got his first ride on a Harley
and has a pipe burn to show for it.  Fortunately, he has a high
tolerance for pain.  He danced after the banquet and also helped
take photos.  I'm not sure who had more fun....Christo or my
colleagues from SE Arizona.  Needless to say, he will be going next
year.

Sorry to be so long-winded, but it has been a week!

C & C

Karen Ann,

I can't respond right now as this brings too many
memories to mind.

For now, hang in there and remind Joey of personal
space.

My best,

Yup!  I gotta sagree with the rest of the group, a man is needed
here! (Being divorced 3 times that is hard for me to admit!)  My
daughter is 13 and just beginning to act out some.  So far, she is
just overly affectionate with the hugs, sdhe sometimes tries to sneak
as kiss too!  Fortunatly, ZJasmine goes to a small school and even
the older kids are good to tell her when she is being inappropriate!
I will pray for your situation and just keep believing that puberty
does pass with time!  Good luck

Tami

PLEASE!!! Putting a kid not even 3 years old by a table and expect it
to follow directions - thats really stupid in my opinion - even if
the child does NOT have any issues. And then put a weight belt on to
have him sit still - I would have recued my son as far as possible
way from that.
Kids need to play - kids need to have fun - kids need to interact
with people who are fun. Get down on the floor and meet him on HIS
level.

I'm sorry if I steped on any soure toes here, but that is my opinion.

Yours

I think the best thing is a man in the family sit him down and explain what is and isn't appropriate in regards to relating to females. While I am sure you are doing your best, there is just a biological factor that comes into play when it's a man to man talk that cannot be replicated by a woman to man.........especially a grandmother. I think Joey will relate more if it comes from a man. Sorry if this sounds sexist as it isn't meant to be in any way.

Obviously other kids, etc. have put sexual thoughts in his head, maybe even playing on his lack of knowledge to use him for their own entertainment. You need to get on the school to have him watched closer and see who is putting the thoughts of sexual orientation and sex in general in his head and have that kid expelled!!!

Yeah.. I have to agree with Bill here.. man to man works best.. and someone has told him this, put thoughts in his head etc or something. If its not someone at school check his TV habits. The whole ” girls like sex” thing just seems to familiar to me.

Weighted belts are part of a sensory integration technique from the
field of occupational therapy. They work on kids who are sensory
seeking for proprioceptive input and helps them calm down and focus.
They also make weighted lap pads and shoulder pads.

And a speech therapist that tries to keep a child in a chair for an
hour is CRAZY. What does she have against a play based approach?!
Good for you for getting a new therapist!

I have to get RID of Olivia's Speech Therapist. She makes her sit in her HIGH CHAIR for ONE HOUR during therapy.
 
Wouldn't she just love one of these weighted things???

I do not want to buy a $50 restraint weighted belt for my child..if the child that you spoke of was having problems sitting for speech therapy well...it might be that he was only 2!  A 2 year old with DS is way too young to be expected to sit at a table for therapy...they should be on the floor playing while doing therapy.

Here was the example used in the article:

1) Only three months shy of his third birthday, a child with Down
Syndrome was very distractible and aggressive. He also presented
with very limited verbal skills, although he had very good non-
verbal skills and knew many signs. This child was having a difficult
time sitting and participating in speech therapy with behaviors such
as pushing the table away, turning around in his chair, swatting at
the therapist and pulling off his glasses. The speech therapist
asked if she could try to use a Miracle Belt; and upon placing a two-
pound Miracle Belt around the child's waist with the weight
anterior, the child immediately sat down, gave the therapist his
attention and participated in the remainder of the session without
difficulty.

Have a great day,

Matt

I do not want to buy a $50 restraint weighted belt for my child..if the child that you spoke of was having problems sitting for speech therapy well...it might be that he was only 2!  A 2 year old with DS is way too young to be expected to sit at a table for therapy...they should be on the floor playing while doing therapy.

Here was the example used in the article:

1) Only three months shy of his third birthday, a child with Down
Syndrome was very distractible and aggressive. He also presented
with very limited verbal skills, although he had very good non-
verbal skills and knew many signs. This child was having a difficult
time sitting and participating in speech therapy with behaviors such
as pushing the table away, turning around in his chair, swatting at
the therapist and pulling off his glasses. The speech therapist
asked if she could try to use a Miracle Belt; and upon placing a two-
pound Miracle Belt around the child's waist with the weight
anterior, the child immediately sat down, gave the therapist his
attention and participated in the remainder of the session without
difficulty.

Have a great day,

Matt

Many individuals with down syndrome as children will learn to talk when they have "wants".
 
For instance, Katie; my daughter liked "Barney" at a young age. We only turned Barney on when she would attempt or generalize the word. Many people (teachers and doctors) told us Katie would be profoundly mentally challenged. They said she would only learn a couple words and she would never write words. That was not good enough for my wife and I, so my wife and I placed Katie in places where she had to express herself verbally. These places include restaurants, toy stores, amusement parks, city parks...She only got what she expressed verbally what she wanted. Oh yes, we placed around many non down syndrome children. 
 
Pointing for things was not accepted. Katie now can not only speak well and express herslf but read and write 80% of the "fry phrases" and understand what she is saying and writing. The fry phrases are empowering for our children.

My son did not catch sign easily either. What helped us and him was
Communicating Partners Program. I would urge you to check it out. There
is a very supportive Yahoogroup for it too:

Where you can read more:

I am sure you can get very good advice on the biting too.

That's what I've been thinking the problem has been all along.  She
doesn't sign. We've been working with her on it for close to 3 years
and she recognizes, but doesn't respond in kind to the signs.  They
have started doing the picture system you mentioned at school, but so
far she's not really responding to that either.

this, I think I am going to keep him with the sitter for now.  I am
going to see how he is doing come Christmas time.  If I think he
needs more I am going to start him after Christmas.  The place that I

is that b/c her birthday is in the fall she will get that much more

program at an elementry school in my area. I was scared at first
because she had seperation anxiety and would not have anything to do
with anybody but her father and I, but i started her any-way. I
figured it would be good for her to be around other people, kids
exspecially kids. I was right, she loves it and has learned alot. she
has become alot more friendly to people she doesnt know that well.
She also gets all her therapies there, so it not so hard taking her
place to place for them. But every parent and child are different, so
it really is all about gut instinct. Mothers know best when it comes
to there children.

Hi,

I keep watching this video and thinking how lucky we
are...1 in 5000 each year in the US.  We hit the
lottery!

Christopher will graduate from 8th grade on 6/6/07.
While his past experiences have not always been
stellar, his future is quite bright.

His alone time is increasing and he has his own door
key now.  He is so thrilled and so responsible
(terrified Mom and safeguards in place), but I know he
will do well.

It is so hard to let go, but so worth the smile I get
when I do.

Muchos smooches,
C & C

·       Pictures should be of children between ages 0-10 years old (The child in the picture can be any age now; however, the picture submitted must have been taken while the child was between the ages of 0-10.)

 

·       Picture must be one you have taken yourself, or if it was taken by a professional photographer, you must own the rights to the picture, (you have permission from the photographer to reprint/use the picture).

 

·       Picture should be in color, clear (not blurry or fuzzy), taken with a higher resolution digital camera (3 mega-pixels or more) and saved in electronic format (JPEG file). Note: Pictures taken with cell phones are low resolution and do not produce the quality of picture to use for the calendar.

 

·       Parents/legal guardians will be asked to sign a photo release if their child is chosen for the calendar.

 

Please submit picture, child's first name (or nick-name) and age to: prince-evan@...  ("prince-evan @ prince-evan.net") by no later than Sunday, July 16, 2007.
