Isaac’s first day of Kindergarten! #isaacazariah #upsyndrome #explorepage #t21 #kindergarten #firstdayofschool https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch7AfNULXZ7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This Saturday 9/11, Isaac turns 5! We would like to invite anyone who would like to wish him a Happy birthday and spend some time with him to come over to our place Saturday afternoon. Come anytime between 12:30- 4! We’ll have small snacks but we want to keep it Isaac focused. Message me for our address if you need it. Just come on by! && Isaac had his #firstdayofpreschool today! We all took him to school this morning. Normally though he will ride the bus! He was excited to go and one of his classmate remembered him from last year. He is in a blended classroom with EOCF Head Start and Early Learning with Evergreen at Hearthwood. He played with puzzles and spent time outside. Hoping he has a great year and grows in communication and interacting more with peers. #firstdayofschool #upsyndrome #nicuawarenessmonth #nicugrad #t21 https://www.instagram.com/p/CTi4KRSHFqU/?utm_medium=tumblr

happy new year #topnine my picks versus the apps for likes. looking forward to many more moments where pictures only show a fraction of the wonderfilled moments. eucharisteo moments. happy ones and hard ones. this year was rough but also very good. Isaac walking unassisted and making communication connections. Waverly being born at home (home birth vbac). many walks in the parks with friends and play dates with new friends. scott continued working from home and being a wonderful dad and husband. we are blessed by all the love and support we were given throughout this year. #2021 #upsyndrome #vbac #homebirth #isaacazariah #waverlyalana #bethegift https://www.instagram.com/p/CJfb8NWJUVj/?igshid=jqrhoc8l76l0

Is seeing facial expression important for connection?— test three Will wearing a mask be a hindrance to Isaacs learning? I have been grateful that the therapists have NOT been wearing masks. They decided to start enforcing it for staff THIS WEEK. He’s been going to ABA since April 1st during all the cv chaos. I am concerned that teaching time is going to be lost in getting him to stop grabbing at it. This is not something I find important for him to be learning nor do I really want him to be indoctrinated into this “new normal”. It is not normal and it is not healthy. Kids, especially Isaac, need to see the facial expressions of their therapists. It is part of the therapy to be able to learn and recognize social cues. #t21 #upsyndrome #maskfree #mask #maskup #selfadvocacy #abatherapy #landofthefree #newnormal #resist https://www.instagram.com/p/CDbtyhaJZn8/?igshid=j6yxgmcv5zfp
