The child jumps, it jumps well. But what the hell, someone will say, nothing special. Any child can jump.
Not children with Down syndrome. Their muscles are weaker, their balance is lame and that is where many limitations come from.
The first climb up the stairs, the first toe-lift, standing on one leg for the first time – these are seemingly small successes, but in fact a big step for the special little person. And they cause tears of joy and pride in mom and dad.
Anyone who has not been deprived of these skills cannot know what happiness is when you achieve them.
We only wish for ourselves, and we wish for you too, not to take even the smallest things in everyday life for granted.
Because for parents like us, they are a miracle!
