Hello, this is my son Raphael from the Philippines. He's 10 months old and that is his favorite book, Happy Baby.
I love when little babies and children get books to play with. The fact that they learn that simply turning a page leads to new surpises. Not many toys can compete with that kind of visual stimulation.
I have to ask, is Raphael in a biligual situation? Is he exposed to both english and Philippino? I had read early on that other languages are stimulating to young children with DS. One girl I know with DS understands some french even though she is english speaking. I found that out when I was discussing the fact that we were going to be transferred to Paris (instead of here) and I had had some serious reservations about what services would be like for Will.
By the way, you sure have a cutie there!
P.S. I apologize to those sending me high resolution pictures. When I resize them to be Blogger friendly they end up with some distortion. I'm sure there is a way around it, but after spending more than a little time trying to find it, I still haven't come acrooss it.
