Hannah and Julia playing together

It is really fun having a little sister with Down syndrome. She is really fun to play with. She is loving, kind and very sweet. She has a very tender heart. She is also very cute and very funny. She has a lot of friends because she is sweet and kind. She loves me and our whole family. She also is very good at saying words like bus, mommy, daddy, mom, dad and lots of other words. She hugs a lot and almost knows how to say my name. She loves to help others and loves to play speech and be the speech teacher. She loves to watch movies like Arthur’s Lost Pal, Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer, Cars 2 and a lot more. She loves to dance and watch our dance video called Bella dancerella . Sometimes she is a little pesky. She gets mad sometimes and disobeys. That is how fun it is to have a sister with Down syndrome that can be a little pesky sometimes.
