Finally!!!!

Sorry, it's taken so long.
Here's my last post:

My Beautiful Little Angel

Oh, my little Logi, where do I even begin to describe him? He’s literally the most beautiful person I have ever met. Every day, he blesses me with his pure joy, exuberance and determination. Not only is he an angel right here on earth, he’s also my personal hero.

When Logan was first born, I thought a couple of things. The first being, okay, so he probably won’t go to college, or live on his own, or get married or be the President of the United States. This didn’t necessarily upset me, or break my heart, but it was tough to change my goals for my firstborn son.

However, when Logan rolled over ON HIS OWN for the first time at 4 weeks old, I thought, hmmmm, maybe we SHOULD start that college fund we’ve been talking about.


When he began to flirt with every woman who walked in our front door, or every girl that smiled at him, I thought, hmmmm, maybe he will get married.

This fall, when he insisted on walking into preschool on the first day on his own, I thought, yeah, he’ll probably be moving out of my house one day.....Especially since he thinks that he’s completely independent at the ripe old age of 3.

And, to be completely honest, I’m GLAD he won’t be President of the United States one day. What a stressful, non-fun job that is!!! That kind of pressure can’t be healthy.

Therefore, I thought Logan would lead us on a different road than the one we had planned, but it turns out, it’s the same road. The only “difference” is that we get to move down that road a little slower than the average person, which allows us to really enjoy the road. We get to celebrate every single accomplishment and milestone. It’s such a beautiful experience to be happy for everything your child accomplishes, rather than worried about what your child hasn't accomplished yet.

Besides all of that, he’s just the joy of our lives. I swear to you that he wakes up every, single day with a smile on his face. He goes to sleep every single night also, with a smile on his face. And, sometimes when I sneak into his room in the middle of the night for one more sweet kiss, he smiles. This is why he’s my hero!

Logan challenged me to be a better person every day. He has a constant stream of therapies and Doctors appointments but he’s always smiling. He LOVES everyone, no matter what. He says hello to everyone in the grocery store which makes them smile in turn. I believe he challenges everyone to be better. Sam was right, he could bring world peace (even if he isn’t President).


Logan is just an amazing person. At the age of 3, he’s inspired me, Sam and many of you. I certainly hope that together we can inspire people out there to understand and realize that DS is not something to be scared of.....It’s something to embrace!!!
