day two...

a house of laughter....


random fact about trisomy 21 (down syndrome) #2: children with trisomy 21 have 47 chromosomes, instead of the usual 46...the 21st chromosome is repeated 3 times instead of 2. this tiny genetic abnormality is present at the time of conception, it does not develop over the course of a pregnancy. that 21st chromosome can alter a child's course in many ways and i wouldn't say they are bad ways, just different...and no little body will react the same way to the chromosome's presence...
