Life is never dull or boring and most of the time I like it that way. (What I don't like is when "exciting" includes the hospital or other medically related problems.) Daily life with the people I love - that is my kind of excitement.
Eliana brings her own brand of energy to our days. Rebecca does her best to infuse a level of "girliness" into her sister, but it is hard to outweigh 4 brothers. LOL Rebecca does a fabulous job of giving her sister amazing hair styles. Its always easy to tell who fixes her hair each day. If it looks outstanding ... then it was Rebecca! Here is one of her latest styles. Isn't it cute?!
And put in a box of taco shells to heat and eat. LOL
Later that same day, when Roger arrived home from work, he called me upstairs. Our bathroom was very foggy because someone had been taking a shower. And Eliana was standing there in a "ta da" pose showing us what George had been doing.
She was excited to go on an egg hunt in the neighborhood this year. She liked finding the eggs and really didn't care about what was in them. Thankfully there were a lot missed at the beginning of the hunt as she was not going to go quickly or fight the crowd to get to the eggs.
She was just as happy to be swinging with her friend George. Yes, he is a pretty constant companion.
Some days our medical appointments include everyone. Not my favorite, but it is doable. This is at our eye doctors. ALL of them are patients there. 
Heading to therapy. We have the same routines coming and going. As we walk in, she points to each door and asks me "this one". She waits for me to say no, or she will say no if I don't answer correctly.
Blessings

I happened upon your blog because of BFIAR, but I stayed because of Eliana. I, too, have a beautiful little girl with Ds. Her name is Hope; she is 4 years old and has recently been diagnosed with Leukemia. Thank you for reminding me of the joy she brings even in the midst of her current struggle.
