Oh the Places You'll Go!

With apologies to Dr. Seuss for stealing his line, I'd like to introduce you to some interesting blogs that don't get enough traffic (even traffic from me--I find I'm missing the free time I had in the summer when I could surf blogger and keep up with everyone's adventures).

Kim at Cameron's Crew has her hands full with a very funny (and extremely verbal) three-year old. Cameron will keep you laughing every time you visit her blog. I first met Cameron when he was just days old. He had a rough start, with significant cardiology issues and weight gain, but his mommy kept on looking forward. Cameron knows more sign language than any other kid I know, but what's even better is that now he's just talking away. He is ridiculous fun!

We don't find many Ds blogs out there about adults. Adventures with Beth is about a 25 year old woman who is finding her way through early adulthood. Right now she's on vacation, but I'm sure that Cindy will be posting again soon.

Alex is the star of The Ordinary Life of an Extraordinary Girl. She is 16 and is a girl who really knows what she wants! Her tenacity is amazing.

And new-to-blogging is Josette, the author of Counting Kisses. The youngest of Josette's three daughters is Jessie, who is 8 years old and has Down syndrome. Josette homeschools all of her girls. I'm always glad to find another family that is homeschooling a child with Ds! There actually are quite a few out there--families from California to Texas to Kansas to Minnesota (and lots more places--even Finland!).

Anyhow, now you've got some homework to do, visiting all these places.

It was so kind of Beth to mention my blog. Of all times, something crazy happened and although I can see several of you tried, you probably weren't able to view it. I have reloaded the background template and things appear back to normal. Hope you'll come back to visit, I look forward to getting to know all of you.

Always on the lookout for new blogs! Thanks for sharing these, especially Adventures With Beth. Love reading about adults with Ds, so much seems to be concentrated on the kiddos.

Thanks for the plug - I love sharing our stories - the pix of your family are great. I tried to edit my previous comment after I saw the typos - having never learned to type - but had to delete it to save embarrassment - I rely on spell check heavily - wanted to make sure to thank you for the nice words about Alex.
