Aaaand we have a big boy bed for Judester. Jude is a bit of a night owl and since he shares a room with Max and MT, this Privacy Pop bed tent will be good to help keep him contained. I think Max and MT are a bit envious. We also recently invested in weighted blankets for both the little boys. The added weight helps calm Jude and has helped him sleep better at night. #ournewnormal #downsyndrome #nothingdownaboutit #ilovehomieswithextrachromies #t21 #changingthefaceofbeauty #downrightperfect #joggingforjude #joggingformaxandjude #theluckyfew #adoptionrocks #adoptionisbeautiful #downsyndromeadoption #downsyndromeawareness #morealikethandifferent #specialneeds #notspecialneeds #justhumanneeds #brothers #twiblings #virtualtwinning #moodytableofsix #privacypop

What a red letter day for Judeman! We taught Mikayla and MT sign language as babies, but it was especially important to teach Jude so that he could communicate with us. Jude (and Max) have excellent receptive language, meaning they understand what they hear very well. They go to speech therapy every week to work on their expressive language which is weak. Learning sign language to communicate their wants/needs has really helped make life easier. They know dozens and dozens of signs for things, actions, and people. Jude has recently begun signing 2 word sentences and is speaking along with the signs. While the words are not perfect, it is great progress! #ournewnormal #downsyndrome #nothingdownaboutit #ilovehomieswithextrachromies #t21 #changingthefaceofbeauty #downrightperfect #joggingforjude #joggingformaxandjude #theluckyfew #downsyndromeawareness #morealikethandifferent #specialneeds #notspecialneeds #justhumanneeds #wecouldhavemissedthis #moodytableofsix #speechtherapy

Jude is big enough to climb on MT's dirtbike all by himself and he loves going for rides. #ournewnormal #downsyndrome #nothingdownaboutit #ilovehomieswithextrachromies #t21 #changingthefaceofbeauty #downrightperfect #joggingforjude #joggingformaxandjude #theluckyfew #downsyndromeawareness #morealikethandifferent #specialneeds #notspecialneeds #justhumanneeds #wecouldhavemissedthis #moodytableofsix
