Baby Harry

We went to lunch today after church with baby Harry and his mom and dad or nanny and chauffeur as my husband calls parents. He is a little boy with Downs Syndrome in our church. He turned 2 last Sunday. He is so sweet and reminds us of Noah so much. It is a different road to parent a child with Special Needs. They do things so differently and their needs are such that it seems to others on the outside that you should be "making your child do X" when you know they are just on their own time table and really there is so little we can "make " a child do anyway. Harry reached out for Carl when we were leaving. Carl hardly ever holds another person's child but oh Harry can't be told no and that is a good thing. People with special needs force us to do things we are not always comfortable with but are always glad we did. Carl smiled so big when he held Harry and to Harry's credit he reached out for me to hold him too. He is a sweetie. I do love babies...
