Maggie — I was so worried about middle school for Sophie but it ended being the BEST. Hard, yes. Nothing is easy, as you already know. But I was so prepared it for to suck that when it didn’t I was pleasantly surprised. Everyone said high school would be awesome — meh, not so much, though there are highlights and Sophie is maturing more every day. Don’t believe anyone who says kids with DS stop growing emotionally and intellectually at 9. Total BS! I see changes every month. It’s wonderful. Keep us posted on middle school. xoxoxo

Loved this article! My Maggie loves to shop too, but only when she “feels” like it. Honestly she hardly ever asks for anything, but when she does want something she wants it!!!! She has recently take to wanting to place orders at drive thru places. Maggie starts middle school this year and I’m scared for what this holds. She has a great group of friends (all boys) and a couple girls recently, but I can already feel things changing. Maggie is the only one in our community of 9000 with DS. I worry that sometimes she’s lonely, no sleep overs or now “hangouts”. I fear it’s going to get harder. I have an older daughter almost 16 she’s great with her sister, but it’s hard. Your articles always make me smile and help.
