Buddy Walk recap

  Happy  Monday everyone  


   On   Saturday  I  went to my  first ever  Buddy Walk.   I looked forward to it all week and    i am glad  I went.  I work up coughing   on Friday  morning and   the first thing  i thought was  i might miss the walk  I did not miss  it and am glad  I  did not    I went with a family that I had met  from my special olympics  young athletes  days.   The family  has one son  and two little girls,   the little boy  with DS I  sat  next to him  and  we sung songs on the way down.  He is  Sesame Streets  biggest  fan  so  when  I sung  the theme song and  paused after  " Can you tell me how to get. '  he  new  what to say it was  soo cute.  Once we arrived The  weather was  beautiful and there   were lots of cute kids there.  I met  a little  four year old who  has  battled cancer twice and  is a savior .   some people get  really into buddy walk.  There were people with signs and banners celebrating the abilities of their love  one  with  Down Syndrome.  The Family I went with  had a sign  that was  right  in front.    It was a fun  walk.


   The only bad  part was knowing that  this great celebration   was not  for me, so selfish  I know.  There is no walk for CP and  I wish  there was.  Camp  Pals  was there  and they are going to have a camp pals  in   CA  summer 2012 which sounds like  fun except wait  I  do not have down syndrome.  I  signed the mailing list    maybe  my sisters  , or me. would  like to be  a consular  and  have a good time at Camp Pals.


 I really liked the  Buddy Walk  and   I  like to ask this of  the  organizers.     Why not have  a  Buddy  Walk for all  disabilities   or   people with Cerebral Palsy  lets     get a walk together.   I think its something everyone who  has   a child with Down Syndrome   should go  to.     Everyone needs  a buddy no  matter how  meny chromosome they have.

Learning to read part two My first independent book

     Growing up   my family had a lot of  kids book  lying around  our house.    Among with the Disney   we had  lots  of    step into  reading books .    Out of  all of them  the book  I  remember  reading for the first time  was Tiger is  a Scaredy Cat.  

  Looking back    I say it was a sad  irony that I  remember  this  book   as  I  deal with  fear.      But that was  my 'first independent book.     I also have memories   of  reading this book in  pre  K.  

    Do you remember your first book        What books are/were your    kids   favorite ,
