We are a group of friends who have come together because we share the common bond of caring for someone who has Trisomy 21. We are here to share therapy tips, medical issues, laughs, accomplishments and yes, even frustrations. We embrace what Trisomy 21 has brought into our lives. We feel that it has taught us to appreciate the true meaning of life. We count our children as blessings! We will fiercely protect them and fight for their lives to be valued just as all other peoples' are. We share our pictures, our stories and our hearts here not only to provide friendship and support for each other, but also in the hopes that others will open their minds and their hearts to our unique children and, in turn, make a better world for everyone.

BIRTH TO 3 YEARS OLD

• The First Years Massaging Action Teether
  Company: The First Years
  Phone: 1-800-317-3194
  Website: http://www.thefirstyears.com
  Explanation: This teething toy is really great for oral stimulation.  When the child/baby bites on the star part, the toy vibrates.  Playful and child-friendly, this teether offers a different kind of comfort.  The textured chewable star points produce a safe, soothing vibration whenever your child bites down on them.  It's powered by a small long-life battery that's sealed inside.
             
  Testimonial: We have this product for my son Christian as he has some oral issues.  It has helped him with getting over his oral aversions.
