Down Syndrome Awareness Month

We're more than halfway through October and we've failed to acknowledge Down Syndrome Awareness Month.  Happy Down Syndrome Awareness Month!  Last year in October, CCE did a much better job with awareness and advocacy efforts.   Click on the links provided below if you're interested in topics like:

 

Down syndrome is not a defect

Down syndrome adoption

Editor's Note: I'm not sure where this Michael Jackson pose came from but after a stroll down Memory Lane, I suspect it's embedded in the extra chromosome.  Presenting Halloween 2009:

Eeeeek!!!!  Could you just die?!  Aunt Leanne is a genuine fan.

 

But I digress...back to Down Syndrome Awareness Month and my slacking in the blogging department.  Bear with us because we've got some fun posts planned including Before & After photos of the condo, Buddy Walk details, and, by popular demand, an in-depth post about Josie's speech.  I may also throw in a post about the dreaded first IEP process - that is, if I am not too traumatized.  See you soon!
