We just took Willie to a movie. We doesn't like loud noises. We took ear plugs. He put them in and munched on popcorn. He had a great time. |

I will be thinking of you. Our fourth child has DS. It is quite a shock. Willie had surgery when he was 6 months old. It is a difficult time. It does get easier.
