FUNNY CALVIN
My little brother Calvin has Down syndrome and Autism. He lost his speech when he was young and uses several different ways to communicate now. To say hello to someone he touches their nose. Every time I come home and walk in his room he touches my nose and I touch his. My sister is in London doing a study abroad, and the only way we can talk to her is through Skype on the computer. When we went down to Las Vegas Mothers Day weekend C.J. got a Skype account set up for them, and we were testing it out. C.J. and my Dad where in the family room and I was in the formal room. While we were making sure everything worked Calvin walked by and came to take look, when he saw my Dad's face on the computer his eyes got so big! He then reached out to try to touch my Dad's nose but my Dad was moving his head all around. Calvin's finger followed my Dad all over the computer screen until my Dad realized what he was doing he held still so Calvin could touch his nose. Calvin then ran away with the biggest smile on his face.
