My buddy is growing like a weed. Every time I look at him it's like he grew a foot taller. His baby face is gone and he's all little boy now. He keeps growing out of everything - including his current cloth diaper. I've been looking into cloth diapers for bigger kids. I found one that has an extender tab so it can be used for larger kids as well. I thought this was a great option because then after he is potty trained, I could use the diaper without tabs for rara.
Then it hits you. He may not be potty trained before rara. He may not speak before rara. My buddy is 3 1/2 years older than rara and before I know it she will be accomplishing things that my buddy will still struggle with. I wonder what the first milestone is that she will hit before he does. Will rara feel guilty about doing things her older brother cannot?
It's been a long time since I've thought about milestones. My buddy has been learning a lot - letters, colors, letter sounds. He amazes me with what he knows and what he can "tell" me without having the words. I guess having your baby sister surpass you is just another chapter in life with Down syndrome.
