Passing it on

Spent some time on the phone today with a father of four, whose latest daughter (born Friday) has Down Syndrome.

He reacted like a guy would -- take a breath, start collecting information.  He's much farther along in his process than I was at this time.

I told him some things to look out for (make sure she's eating and pooping properly, for example), referred him to our pediatrician, and told him about Dot -- how she knows her words and colors, and lights up every room she's in.  He's going to look for us at the Buddy Walk in two weeks.
