He couldn't ask for a better big sister

I have mentioned before that Daniel loves his big sister and it is also very clear that she loves him. It is difficult to go down that road of what ifs and try to imagine what their relationship would have been like had Daniel been born without disabilities. As hard as it is for us as parents to process, it must be a thousand times harder for his sister to process the whats and whys of Daniel's disabilities. Last night when we were sitting at dinner she gave us some insight into her thoughts: "I wouldn't want to trade my brother for anything...Even when he hits me or bites me, I know that he is exploring. He is also talking so much, even more than I've heard any other child with special needs!...When Daniel was still in your belly, I never thought that I would have a special needs brother."--Neither did we.
