We Love Straws

We have a saying in our home-"Dylan will do things on his own time" We guide him, support him and praise him everyday to achieve those goals and milestones. We will never push him or make him do anything he does not want to do! Today Dylan decided to drink from a straw, a goal we have been working on for quite some time and he did it all by himself! We still have work to do, but the fact he is drinking and interested is a great thing! This a big thing for children with Down syndrome as it helps with there oral motor skills and speech. Today we are very proud of our Dylan and how hard he works everyday at home and in therapy. His determination and loving heart pushes me to be a better person each and everyday!
