From the time Colt was a baby we have been amazed at how he is so aware of emotions. He feels emotions in a way that I have never been able to describe. ⁣ ⁣ Early on, I read the term “high emotional IQ” in a description of some individuals with Down syndrome. I didn’t know exactly what it meant, nor if it was a common trait, but it seemed to be the perfect way to describe Colt. ⁣ ⁣ When Nic came along, after spending his first year in the orphanage, he had to learn these emotions. Things like love, compassion, joy… weren’t something that he had experienced. Nevertheless, Colt was relentless in his love for Nic.⁣ ⁣ By God’s grace, Nic began showing that love, compassion and tenderness. ⁣ ⁣ Now, our tender hearted Nic can’t stand to see Colt sad for even a second. He rushes to him to hug him, pat his back and comfort him. ⁣ ⁣ It’s not that these two never quarrel, (although I don’t think you will ever see Nic upset at Colt), but they hate to see the other one sad so much that they usually quickly hug, seek forgiveness and continue on in their fun. ⁣ ⁣ *And yes, Colt still will rub the eyelashes of anyone sitting next to him when he’s relaxing. 😆⁣ ⁣ #brothers #bestfriends #love #besties #downsyndrome #downrightwonderful #nothingdownaboutit ⁣ ⁣
