Today is a very special and meaningful day for our family.
Today I know that all those hours I spent researching and trying to get answers have helped me understand my son.
Today means that I was right and that I really do know my son better than anyone.
Today was a long awaited day
Today I feel happy because, I finally get some closure
Today I can say that my son is very unique because only 1 in 300,000 people have this extremely rare genetic syndrome.
Today our geneticist confirmed what we knew all along. Nathan's molecular testing confirmed that he has Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome (RTS).
Today my son has RTS. February 16th 2009 is a day I will never ever forget.

Now you know your ABC's next time won't you sign with me?
Alyssa has really taken an interest in signing. It's been wonderful because her and I practice together and we both enjoy it. Signing times is one of her favorites. During dinner we often have signing challenges to see who can sign a word the fastest or sometimes we'll just sign instead of talking to see if we can understand each other. It's cute and a great way to build and practice on our signing skills. Lately we've been working on our alphabet together and so yesterday when we got to a local park and she found the alphabet chart she was very excited. So here she is showing us all how to sign the letter "B"
Sometimes there's just too much to do
and napping would mean missing out on what everyone else is doing. Nathan asleep with bunny bear on top of his train table.
