Now, when they talk about our family, Isabelle's name is never left out and if you happen to forget... you will surely be reminded.
A few days ago, I found Ethan testing out a pair of Isabelle's shoes. I think he was able to get his big toe to finally fit and he just sat and laughed. He was amazed at how small everything is. He was only 2 when Aiden was born so he didn't really grasp everything like he does now.
When Aiden and I cuddle, you will always find his hand resting on my belly. They both rub my belly constantly and make sure to hug and kiss Isabelle every morning and night.
These are things that I love right now. I haven't been feeling great lately but I wouldn't trade these moments for anything. My boys are teaching me to trust and love no matter what. When I am having an off day... that is the day they choose to show extra affection towards Isabelle. I am so thankful for my boy's love and the laughter they bring to our family. They can lift my spirits any day of the week.

I am sure you have done much reading on the effects of a sibling with Down syndrome on the "typical" children in a family - it is SO positive, and they both end up teaching each other so many things. Samantha doesn't have any siblings, nor will she, but I do wish she could be fortunate enough to have them.
This post made me smile! What sweet boys you have!
