{31 for 21} Daddy's Girl: Sixteen.

Ellie gets restless if she's inside for too long.  She loves to be outside and barefoot.  She hates being alone.

In short, she is without a doubt my child.  But wow, she loves her daddy.

("Daddy, we need to have a serious talk.")

("Hold on, Mommy is eavesdropping.")

("Daddy, this leaf is yummy.  I want more.  And a pony.")

("I can fly!")

("I love my daddy!")

("Daddy, I promise I'm big enough to swing.  Mommy lets me!")

PS. (Disclaimer: This idea is stolen.) I confess, I don't have 31 Down syndrome-centric topics to blog about, as you may have noticed.  So if there's a question you have for me about parenting a child with DS, feel free to leave it in the comments and I'll do my best to answer!
