To celebrate World Down Syndrome Day (3/21), we’re sharing 21 things we love about our daughter. 💙🌍💛 17. She loves music, knows tons of songs (with hand motions!), and her dad (who has a master’s in music) says she’s been able to match pitch since she was 3. Her new fave starts, “I had a little turtle, his name was Tiny Tim…” If you listen closely, she nails all the key words—turtle, Tim, bathtub, swim, water, soap, bed, bubbles, and throat. Stay for the end so you don’t miss the bow, another trademark move. 🤣 ❤️

We’re celebrating World Down Syndrome Day (3/21) with 21 things we love about our daughter. 💙💛 8. She is super fun and always down for whatever crazy plan her sister has thought up.

Happy Down Syndrome Awareness Month! We kicked it off right with a fun Party Down for Down Syndrome. There was great music (thanks, DJ Nicholas Naioti!), a moving and inspirational speech (thanks, Rebekah Seipel!), amazing dance performances, and lots of joy. 💙💛

Our 2nd annual Party Down for Down Syndrome dance party event will take place at the Kirksville Rotary Park Amphitheater on Saturday, September 30th from 1:00-3:00. Help us spread the word! 💛💙

We were so busy celebrating World Down Syndrome Day, we didn’t have time to post about it! 😊 We hope you had a great 3/21 and rocked your socks or found other ways to celebrate people with DS and the joy they contribute to the world! 💙💛🌍❤️🧦
