A Whole Lotta Gorgeous

Playgroup was a hit! We went to the Pride Center yesterday evening and both kids had a blast. They have such a wonderful facility with a great play structure designed for kids with mobility issues. Even though Suzanne no longer has mobility issues, she still loves to go there and play and make new friends. There were probably about 15 kids with DS in addition to an equal number of brothers and sisters.


I must say that there aren't very many things prettier than a room full of DS toddlers. The happiness that radiates could light up an entire town. Just imagine Suzanne magnified by 15.


Here is a picture of Suzanne that was taken when Pride's playground was first built in August of 2006...



As you can see, she needed a little help from brother to get down the slide then. Yesterday she was going down that very same slide head first!


Gotta go, Suzanne has just found my keys and has hit the car alarm so the garage is honking!!

Jen, wait until Suzanne shouts "kowabunga!!" as she slids down head-first..LOLOLOL

What a great play center. Makes me a little envious that I'm not a kid.

Up With Downs!

You haven't experienced life until you've experienced it Suzanne-style...
