31 for 21: Read this. Paint that.

October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month. So we’ll highlight a few little special things about what DS means in our house.

[I have Down syndrome. I like to read books and make pictures.]

(Pssssst… to all of you who have become buddies of mine in the last couple of days, HI!  I’m so glad you like my stories!!! Thank you!)

I’m still trying to get better, so there’s not really any new pictures to show you. Daddy wants me to be extra careful for my eyes, so I didn’t get to go to dance class today or to the playground with my friends.  KiKi went and she had fun.  I can’t wait to go next time.

So I’ll show you some pictures from last week.  KiKi is getting really good at reading. She just picks up books and knows all the words! It’s so cool!  She reads books to me, and I like that a lot.

KiKi also kept asking Mommy for paints lately.  So she got some for KiKi to try to use and see if she liked them.  And she does . LOTS!

I did some painting too.  But I don’t like it as much.  It was fun for a few minutes though.  How’s my hand look, Miss J? Smile

Hopefully I’ll get to do more playing soon… but it’s not so bad to relax for a while!

Mommy report: Chatty girl

Braska's been just loving her words lately. She's still signing some, mostly when we're in public or around strangers, but she's adding more words all the time. Many of her words are just attempts at the actual word, but that's where we all start, right?!? We're not saying that she'll be giving speeches next month, but we are very proud that she's become such a mimic and that she is loving using so many sounds. We practice often, just running through her words, signs, and tricks. She especially loves to chime in with videos of herself, so I've been working on compiling all her favorites for her to work with. As I was editing this, she was sitting here saying the words over and over. So funny to hear her talking to herself on the screen and loving it. So here's a peek at some clips from our practice session tonight. Some words are more obvious than others. They are all great attempts, though, and we'll celebrate that! Make an on-line

Nebraska meets Indiana

Braska's reaction to meeting the very kind Rory Feek and his beautiful daughter Indy.  I missed the part where Braska said Indy was sooooooooooo cute!  :) Our dream would be a photo showing the two most beautiful "states" together, right?!?  :)
