Our daughter, Nora, is quite talented artistically. She forever tells me that she will help Elliot and “He can be as good as me, mommy.” I told her of Magic Marker Monday, and mentioned that I would be working with Elliot weekly on his art. She said that she’d like to display this recent masterpiece for him, in honor of him in fact.
Nora has such a big heart.
The unicorn really works here, you see.
For, as she stated, “Elliot is unique; he has Down syndrome which makes him different; but, it is better to be different than just like everyone else.”
Just like the unicorn.
It is typical like a horse, but “Mom, it flies and has such a lovely horn.”
“Wouldn’t it be great if Elliot could fly?”

People sometimes worry how having a child with Down syndrome will affect the other children. All they need to look at this picture and the story behind it to know that their sibling is not a burden but a blessing. My oldest daughter also sees the benefits! They often help us to see even more of the blessing we have received!
Stay cool! We aren't much cooler here in Kansas!
What a sweet sister!!! Her artwork is beautiful, too!!!
What a beautiful picture and a wonderful daughter you have!
Oh, Michelle -- I think Nora could take her pick as either an artist or a poet! This is just the sweetest post I've seen all day :)
Nora's picture is just lovely, and her heart is beautiful beyond words.

Okay, I'm not sure what I love the most....the picture or the love that came with it!
Oh she's amazing!
That a sweet lovely girl you have. It's a beautiful picture, and I love the words behind it.
What a sweet soul she has..I have tears in my eyes. The siblings of kids with disabilities are those that I pray will be a bright light in the next generation.
Oh Nora is such a sweetheart!
