Lil Peach

I call Lilah "Peach" because of her "Peaches and cream" complexion and because her personality is very peachy,she is just a little doll.

Yesterday I went to see Gracie (Gigi) John(Bum bum), and my sweet little Peach. Lilah was sitting on the floor propped up against the couch and sliding down onto the floof , she was trying to upright herself
with no luck. She wasn't her bright shining self as she was exhausted by all the Christmas festivities. When Lilah is tired she doesn't engage easily so my usual "squeeze the baby" failed to amuse her. Even when she is exhausted my Peach doesn't fuss or whine , she just kind of goes away. Yesterdays visit made me a little sad ,struggling to keep herself upright was a battle she wasn't winning. I am going over there later and I hope my little princess is having a happy day. Here's hoping..

Special people, special needs

This is Lilah my niece ,she is the inspiration for this blog. She was born with a chromosomal anomaly that affects her growth and development . She is 2 now and is just now starting to sit herself up, she doesn't talk  but her personality lights up the whole room  and her laugh is my favorite sound in this whole world.

I want this blog to honor Lilah and kids like her. I want people to know that special needs kids are a special gift from God and the joy they bring is immeasurable. Lilah faces her struggles with grace and is an inspiration to everyone around her .

This blog will , I hope, foster understanding and acceptance of these special little people .
