I will admit, I am a very research driven person. Research makes me happy. To me, when you do your research, your decisions then become easier. I know that no amount of research will prepare you for becoming a parent and especially not the parent of a special needs child. That being said, this blog I read was one of the most well-written, compassionate, funniest, and happiest blogs about parenting. The catch is this - it is written by the parents of child with Down's Syndrome. One would think it should make a difference, but it doesn't. Other than a few more therapist appointments, doctor visits, and motor skill worries, the parenting of a special needs child is like parenting a typical child. Every parent worries about their child (typical or not). I would highly recommend this blog to everyone parent and non-parent alike.
*Side note - this blog is great for aunts and uncles alike

I don't have kids of my own, but as I read this blog, my eyes fill with tears. Tears of joy, tears of laughter, and yes, tears of sadness. These parents love their little boy so very, very much and that is absolutely evident on this blog.
I promise you will get something out of this, whether your child has special needs or not.
