"Tommy has really been interactive and engaged in lessons this week. He is flexible even when routines may change a little... He was very happy (clapping, smiling, and even jumping up and down a little) when given the award. His smile definitely lights up the room!"
The reason I highlighted the words from his teacher about Tommy's excitement is because my son is a child who feels excitement for his accomplishments and deserves, as any other child, to develop into a good man who follows his dreams. I have the privilege of raising 'a super boy' who stands out by himself with his charming personality and not by prejudgment based on his labels of Trisomy 21 and Autism.
I am his mom, but I don't own his life. I am just God's instrument to shape him into a good man and responsible citizen because he is a human been, as you and me, since the moment he was conceived. I don't judge him for his genetic disorder and just love him for who he is, my son. I AM VERY PORUD OF TOMMY!
