Today my youngest child turned 25. Heather has Down Syndrome, so she'll always be about eight years old. But we've been blessed to share her days for a quarter of a century. She appeared at breakfast this morning wearing a fabric crown. I suspect she'll still have it on at bedtime tonight. Today's block, Leapfrog, is in her honor. Green is her favorite color. On any given day Heather can be seen sporting striped spring green socks, lime Crocs, an olive T-shirt, Who-the-Shrek-Are-You? nail polish, or all of the above. She chose this block because Disney's Princess and the Frog is currently her favorite movie. It's just a good thing Tangled won't hit our theater for a few more weeks. I don't know if I can find a block named Rapunzel.
