BLOG 2 pgs. 70-122

"But what if they simply erased those growth and development charts, with their precise, constricting points and curves? What if they kept their expectations but erased the time line? What harm could it do? Why not try?" (page 98)
In the section titled March 1965 it begins with Caroline who ended up being a nurse for a retired doctor in Pittsberg. Doro, Leo March's daughter, was a PhD and was one of Caroline's only friends in this new town. When Phoebe ever has problem's Doro is always there to help out and cure her. The next day her friend Sandra comes over so Tim, her son, and Phoebe can play. Caroline met Sandra once while intensively studying about Down's syndrome and getting extremely frustrted in the process. Ever since they decided to have playdates and learn more about this disease to improve their children's mental health. This is nicely described in the quote above.
