I was at the dentist today, (I KNOW, AGAIN! It should be the last time for a while.) wearing my blue and yellow ribbon. The hygenist asked me what it was for, so i told her about DS awareness month, and my 6 month old daugher. Her reaction was awesome. She was like, "aww, thats SO COOL! My cousin has Down Syndrome and she is awesome!!!" It was so cute. I often often wonder how people will react when I say that. I have read some women's blogs about people having just rude reactions, mostly cause of stupidity or lack of knowledge. But, it has made me really think about how I will react if someone says something without thinking. I dont want to expect that to haappen, but not be too surprised by it if it does. i hope that makes sense. anyway, i was so encouraged today by the girl's reaction. she just told me how sweet her cousin was and how awesome DS kiddos are. she also had a few questions about our situation and stuff. pretty cute. :)
Annabelle enjoyed a little outing with my dad, and he said she just did great. she does love outings. i love taking her places.
