Stories of YES #20 - Faith + Joy = Sister Love



"I plan to use Down Syndrome awareness month to tell you more about my girls- not necessarily Down syndrome because they are so much more than a chromosome count! I want you to see our life is just as normal as your life!

Edie Joy loves the color pink, high heels, princess dresses, makeup, and just being a fancy girly girl! She is obsessed with anything I am doing, and she is my Velcro baby! She is what we call "sweet & spicy."

Ollie Faith is more into bubbles, sidewalk chalk, the trampoline, golf cart rides, and her favorite shows on the iPad. She tells her Daddy how much she misses him and she loves him every day - but she ignores me.🤣 She LOVES to socialize with everyone who will talk to her. If you engage in conversation, prepare to get a starfish hug, even though we are trying to teach her it’s more appropriate to shake hands with someone you don’t know well!

These girls are 100% opposite personalities - they fight, they slap, they hug...and then they make up. They are true sisters, and they are best friends."
