Special Sister
We all know it takes special parents to raise special needs children. But it doesn't only take special parents, it also takes special siblings. I know because my sister has Down Syndrome.

Because it was the first time he had seen this [...]

I found a book and method by Teri Crane called Potty Train Your Child in Just One Day. Who wouldn't [...]
