I wasn't prepared for the way one sweet glance from you would make me want to stop everything I was doing and scoop you up in my arms for the rest of the day.
I wasn't prepared for you....
I wasn't prepared for those eyes- the kind that can speak a thousand words, that sparkle with stars and shine brighter than the sun on days when I need it most.
I wasn't prepared for you...
I wasn't prepared for the connection I would feel with you, the one that makes me feel like a part of me is missing when you're sleeping and comes alive again when you wake up.
I wasn't prepared for you....
I wasn't prepared for the way you would fit just perfectly into our family, how you would wrap every one of your siblings around your finger, how totally complete you would make our family feel.
I wasn't prepared for you...
I wasn't prepared for how easily the words would roll off my lips two and a half years later -why yes, she does have Down syndrome - in response to a stranger's question...and how totally at ease I would feel with it. I wasn't prepared for the pride I would feel when I told that same stranger that you are amazing us constantly with all that you do, and how much I wish everybody could experience the joy we do every.single.day. ....because of you.
I wasn't prepared for you !

Yes, isn't it funny how wonderful it is to let everyone know our kids are special! There is no shame in Down Syndrome! She is perfect!
Awww that was the sweetest thing!!
Seriously, As if Lily didn't remind me of Ally enough already, you go and say everything I think every day!!! It is amazing isn't it?
That is funny, it says Allyson said that... hmm... Ally is 2 1/2 she doesn't have a email address. This is Amy!!!
