On day 8 of Days of Elijah, I want you to know that my brother Elijah is soo very special just the was he is! Yes, he does have Down Syndrome, but that is just a medical diagnosis. It doesn't define him!
He is NOT a 'Down's boy', or a 'Down syndrome kids'. Just like you don't call a person with cancer a 'cancer lady', you don't call individuals with Down Syndrome a "Down's baby'. It's called People First Language!
He is absolutely precious, unique, wonderful, and soo very loved just the way he is!!

I know I've posted that song before, but I love it and had to post it again! :) I love you Elijah!!!
