Down Syndrome Awareness Month 2014

October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month, and I know you're well aware that I have Down Syndrome, but I think it's always good to spread the truth and share helpful information about things that may not be common knowledge.  So my blog today is about ME and the other awesome people in the world like me. I am using some really nifty blocks about Down Syndrome from a mom who posted about Down Syndrome and it was actually borrowed from another mom who has a kid with Down Syndrome, too. Moms of kids with Down Syndrome are really tight and they share a lot of stuff. So, I don't have block number 1 or number 12. Please over look that. I'm sure there are a lot more things to know about Down Syndrome than 14 anyway, but here are 12 of 14 really interesting facts about Down Syndrome. Thanks for reading!

P.S. Most of the following photos are from my visit to Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, yesterday. Yep, cancer is still in the picture and leukemia may be winning this little battle, but I think I've got this war won. I'm still on a chemo hold, until my counts come all the way back up, but I'm thinking they will. I'm feeling well, just really immunocompromised - so no hugs in public or high fives until I'm stronger. For everyone's safety, wash your hands often this cold and flu season. THANK YOU!

THANK YOU for reading all about Down Syndrome and for encouraging my parents and siblings as we all learn more about what I can do. I'm going to turn three in a month! Just one month! I can hardly believe it. Stay tuned, I'm sure my mother will take about a million photos that day!

As always, and truly from my heart, thank you for your prayers and encouragement! Have a safe and healthy fall!
