  1. don't flame me away please...someone posted a LONG time ago about a textbook, for teaching reading, and i looked it up. It looked fabulous. It was blue, or green...and now of course i can't remember what it was. Does ANYONE know what i am talking about? It was for younger kids, first grade? HELP PLEASE!
  2. i flew 21 hours this past october with my newly adopted (as in 2 weeks since we had met) 5 year old son who also has Down Syndrome. Take a bunch of snacks, and ask your doctor about benadryl. My doc gave me permission to use a MUCH higher dose than is listed on the bottle. I didn't end up using even half of what she said i could, bc he didn't like the taste of it, but it was enough to mellow him out. Toys help and so do movies :)
  3. i'd be happy to donate some money for backing/shipping whatever :) just let me know who to paypal
  4. My In-laws got me a gift card to Red lobster, even though they KNOW i hate seafood...and put in the card "well, sounds like you have at least one seafood lover in the house" (which is my 7 year old son) ummmm...so you are telling me you KNOW i hate seafood? and got me the card anyway? thanks???
  5. we are in a way!!! We just adopted our son, and it's his first christmas with us :) i dont' think they did christmas in the orphanage, so even though he is five i am very excited for him!!!!
  6. hasn't it been proven that putting down paper doesn't do anything to "stop" the germs if they are on the seat? I don't know if that makes you feel better or not :)
  7. anyone up for voting for our adoption story on photobucket???????? pretty pretty please :) winner gets 25k lol, not that i am expecting to win but it would be super lovely!!!! http://s1294.beta.photobucket.com/user/jamieandjared/story/13441 thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  8. ok, when i went to the link to figure out how much it would cost us, it said our federal premium subsidy would be $201, meaning we will pay 500 a month!!!! that is about 440 more a month than we are paying now!!!!!!!. Then it said our limit of deductibles and all that is 8k!!!!! WHAT???? Our limit right now is 6k and we are paying less per month...that seems...sucky or something
  9. go here and prepare to fall in love http://reecesrainbow.org/category/waitingchildren/girls-down-syndrome-0-2 that is exactly it!!!! Soooo excited! thank you so much!!! We are so lucky to have found him! lol, no biggie and thank you!!!
  10. RR is where we found him! You have to go through an agency as they aren't an adoption agency, but they have been so, so helpful to use!!! Let me know if you ever have any questions about RR!
  11. he is 5 :D:D:D there is a big ole pic of him in my blog header if you want to see him :) blog is in my siggie!
  12. I'm SOOOOO excited!!! WE are adopting a little guy with Down syndrome, and we leave in 6 DAYS to go get him!!!!! I can't even stand it! It's been a long process and we are nearly done!!! Just had to share!!!!
  13. i think we would :) we are adding a kiddo with down syndrome to our crew after 3 healthy kids, so i would hope we would do it the other way too :001_smile:
  14. i've not btdt but i would suggest having Dh start the school day with the kids and you sleep. When you wake up, you can finish up the day :)
  15. i don't understand what the totes would do? Can you just close the closet door to keep the pets out?
  16. We are currently adopting a little guy with ds and have a sponsorship page with RR. I'd be happy to talk with you about anything you have questions about if that funny feeling every becomes full blown :D
  17. i did call the doc. She has her 5 year appointment scheduled for the 17th so the nurse i talked to said she thought it was fine for us to wait till then, as long as i kept everything away from her. i guess i'm just nervous. Wondering if anyone has dealt with this before. I used to work with kiddos w/ autism and am very familiar with Pica. I was just suprised to see this happen to her randomly?
