For October to celebrate - I’ll be sharing:
Things I’ve learned from Katherine Mary Grace.
1. Believe in Yourself!! This is a picture of a note Katherine wrote to herself on her math workbook page.
2. Be brave.
(Sleep Study. K did so well. What a trooper!)
3. Don’t let challenges get in the way of having fun. (Wear earphones and be ok with making your own modifications.). We went to a show - and Katherine wore her sound blocking earphones.
4. Find your inner creative genius. She worked on redesigning this water bottle for an hour today.
4 a. And don’t be afraid to talk to yourself. Self encouragement goes a long way. (See number 1) Children with Down syndrome often talk to themselves or to imaginary friends. Once Katherine started talking- she never stopped- even if she’s the only one listening sometimes. She gave herself art direction audibly the whole time she was crafting.
