My parents and mother-in-law were educated to 8th grade equivalent in Germany and Holland and all 3 have far more "intelligence" than many college-educated people I know.Monica Crumleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11292679754594755040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333507217470871558.post-65321963017323091962010-07-04T08:58:36.848-07:002010-07-04T08:58:36.848-07:00I cried when I read this post, it really touched m...I cried when I read this post, it really touched me in a lot of ways. When Russell was born and I found out he had Ds I was so scared and unsure of everything, even though he was my 5th, I felt like a new Mom all over again. I didnt treat Russell the same as my other kids, and I found I only expected things from him when I was TOLD to expect them. They tell you right away all the things to watch for and to expect delays...but I am finding Russell is not delayed at all, but I have expected him to be and so by doing that I have not allowed him to do things when I should have. I havent treated him or expected things from him that I did the other kids. It makes me sad to admit that, but its the truth. Down syndrome scared me and I didnt know what to expect so I just went by what I was being told...well not anymore. This post actually has given me courage to expect more from Russell.
