1989 --
Jamie Donna Eisenstat ---
Having Joshua's challenges could certainly be frustrating, but as we welcomed another child into our home,
we learned to adapt so that each one of our children felt safe, important and loved.
Jamie Donna Eisenstat was born on August 23, 1989. We were so excited to welcome this beautiful girl in our home. She is named after her Grandma Donna Klein and has brought such a sweet spirit into our home. She had the round cheeks that both Joshua and Jeremy had. Jeremy is a wonderful big brother and it is so fun to watch him hold her and care for her. Joshua is very frightening when he gets near her. I was not able to lay her on a blanket on the floor if Joshua was in the house because he would step on her without even realizing it. It's like he couldn't see she was there. And because he hits and throws things, we had to be very careful to keep Jamie safe. Having Joshua's challenges could certainly be frustrating, but as we welcomed another child into our home, we learned to adapt so that each one of our children felt safe, important and loved.
I loved being a Mom. I loved the uniqueness and beauty of each of my children. Jamie was so beautiful, and a perfect and precious little girl. Jeremy was always mature for his age, and his calm and gentle spirit and love for his brother brought more blessings than I can express. And Joshua's pure love inside his cyclone of a spirit taught me every day as I grew to appreciate, admire and truly love his many strengths and talents.
