So last night I stop by my sister's house and we were talking about the Buddy Walk. So my six year nephew pipes in and says "Aunt Karen is Alexander the only person I know with Down Syndrome." My sister said "did you hear him "and I was like "yeah." And then she says "yeah he's the only one you know." I was like Tyler "do you know what Down Syndrome even means." He was like "ah yeah he was born with it." He answered me like I thought he was stupid or something. :) I was like "yeah your right he was born with it but do you know what else." He was like no. Then my sister went on to say "remember sometimes it takes him longer to learn things." He was oh yeah!
Well if you don't know Tyler he is very FUN to be around and life is always a party. I can already tell that he will never think anything is wrong with our precious little angel. I already know he is going to be his little protector when Alexander gets a little older. I just thought it was sweet hearing from a six year what Down Syndrome actually meant and thought I would share.
