Libby

Hi you guys! I've been gone for so long now and I am so sorry about it. I can't micromanage like some of you with my four little ones who are not so little anymore!

William will be 6 in Dec. He loves Kindergarten as far as I can tell. He doesn't articulate it, but I can tell on his face when I drop him off each day and pick him up.

He is a trailblazer in our preschool. They have gone on to accept three more students with Down syndrome. One child in the three's class and two in the two's class. One of whom who is in class with Ellen (William's little sister).

He pee peed on the potty today (FIRST TIME EVER) at school! Three little boys were in there, one of them being Sam (William's younger brother) and they all took up the stalls and Sam told the two other boys that William didn't know how to pee on the potty yet, so they nicely told William to go on out of the bathroom and the library teacher took William out and William went into the other bathroom and immediately pulled down his pants and peed on the potty. The news was all over school. HE SHOWED THOSE BOYS. SO PROUD!!!

So much to tell and share, but I can't bore you anymore. This kid is AMAZING. We are so proud of him!!!!!!!! LOVE HIM so much!!!!!!!!

Here are a few pics:

First child on the dance floor on his recent field trip on the Belle of Louisville, he was the LEADER, all of the other kids followed him!!
