If the Shoe FIts

Sunday, 26 May 2013 14:39 Written by Jennifer Byde Myers
Jack’s feet are bigger than mine. No more guessing when he’ll pass me up, no more can I slip on his shoes to quickly run the trash out… well I can, but when I tried that on Tuesday night they slipped in the back as I walked. They are new…
Did you do it? Did you rock out with your socks out? Did you wear your crazy socks to raise awareness for World Down Syndrome Day? I did not; I decided to wear my plain white socks, just like I do every day. Why? I was not thrilled with the…

Happy Holiday Travels

Monday, 31 December 2012 19:30 Written by Jennifer Byde Myers
  A plane flight with kids is generally on the list of challenging parenting situations. Of course we have flown all together before, several times, but it just seems like the kids were so much smaller last time, more manageable and moveable. Jack has turned into a tween, and those…
  Happy Halloween! Well, that's it, this is the last year that Jack is going to fit into one of those one-piece costumes. They have made life so much easier for us, and because they are recognizable characters, it's made it easy for others to figure out what Jack is…

We knew this day was coming. It’s not like we hadn’t been warned. We had been warned and had experienced it a couple times before, thanks to Emma and Brady. Though sometimes I did wonder if this day would ever come. That day is here….. The day that nothing on…

He Hears Every Word

Can you hear me?

“Can you hear me?” “Can you hear me?”  I whisper behind Carly’s left shoulder. No response. “Can you hear me?”  This time I say it a little louder and a bit further away. She swivels her head and gives me a big smile. Not bad hearing for a little girl…

A Happy Birthday

Sunday, 30 September 2012 21:54 Written by Jennifer Byde Myers
Birthday. Birthday. Birthday. It used to be hard to plan Jack’s birthday. When he was one, two, three, no problem, we just threw house parties to thank all the people in our lives who had supported Jack and our family through sleepless nights and therapies. Then there was a good…
