Yeah, going to the doctors office to educate her some more on how quick a kid with DS can get sick.

Haven't really thought about it, so I guess no.

Oh, poor Angela. I hope she feels better soon!

I sent an email out to all of my family and friends marking the day.

Today's Lana's 11th month birthday so we are setting up a studio in my house and taking tons of pictures. I will make a small poster for Lana's scrapbook with WDSD information on it.

Lana has PT so I'm not sure what else we'll do to celebrate the day.

I'm up for ideas though!

Hadn't thought about it. We have to go out later so maybe we will go and enjoy some dinner together. Daddy is home today so we can spend the entire day together.

Yes, today is my birthday (weird coincidence huh?) and my husband has taken off to do all the child care for me. Right now he is at Mommy and Me, then he will take Anna to therapy, Libby to swimming, Alex from pingpong, back to get Libby from swimming, then drive the car pool to religion class, and finally drop off and pick up Libby from piano. In between he will get a birthday cake, feed Anna lunch and make a birthday dinner for me. I in the meantime am going running this morning and then to a fancy restaurant with some girlfriends for lunch. Libby already took me out for breakfast at the french cafe before I dropped her off at school. It's a beautiful day and I'm happy.

Happy Birthday, Mary!!

I just made a simple poster announcing the day and put a picture of Jaymes on it. I hung it on the window outside my office. Then I passed the picture on to two of my sisters and my husband so they can do the same!

I wish I knew about this day about four months ago I would of went to a local restaraunt & had them use today to raise money. Then it could of went to the Buddy Walk, maybe next year.

Didn't think about doing anything but I told Patrick if he was good in school we would get McDonalds & buy Chicken Little. Kyle goes with the flow & I would just have to have popcorn for the movie. (Kyle LOVES cheese popcorn)

Celebrating Jackson's birthday! Today he is six! Can't believe it! Will be having family and friends over for cake and ice cream, including his betrothed - Jaiden (DS 3-12-00). Can't forget presents - he's discovered he really likes presents.

I made the poster of Sean and hung it up at the Early Ed Center (therapy), daycare, ped office, my office, and gave some to my mom & sister for thier offices. I bought the I Can, Can you? book for Sean's class & wrapped it up for him to give as a gift to the class. I'm wearing my Buddy Walk tshirt at work. My sister & mom asked their co-workers to wear blue & yellow today and they said the majority of the office did.

I gave my little man lots of snuggles and kisses this morning and am spending the evening with him at my La Leche League meeting.

Happy DS Day to everyone! Happy Birthday to Mary & Jackson!

Gosh you guys have GREAT ideas! I didn't think of wearing yellow and blue today! Duh! LOL My closet is full of stuff from my store even! LOL
The fundraising idea is awesome too! I'll have to think about that for next year!

I went and read "We'll Paint the Octopus Red" six times today LOL. I went to each Kindergarten class. I think it went over really well. I got some good questions and everyone just loved Kennedy.

The poster is going over well too. I walked out and one teacher was standing there looking at it and crying... not sure if there's a story there or not, I was scared to ask!

Happy birthday to Mary and Jackson!!!
