The Purpose of this Blog

The goal of this blog is to provide education and bring about higher awareness about Down syndrome. It is to share that life with Down syndrome (DS) is not scary, horrible, or to be feared.

My experience comes from raising my daughter, Nebraska Larae (Braska), born November 2006 with Down syndrome.
The posts on this blog are related in some way to life with DS or disability, and they are reposted here from my other family blogs. There are links to those blogs in the margin on the right side of this blog if you would like to visit them directly.

Thank you for coming by.

Dress up party

Today we went to PaPaw’s church for a dress up party.  There were lots of people there all dressed up in funny clothes.  Me and KiKi wore our bug dresses, and everyone thought we were super cute!

KiKi doesn’t like people who are dressed up a whole bunch, like where you can’t see their faces or when it looks like somebody on TV or something. So she stayed close with Mommy most of the time.

I walked around by myself for a while because I’m not scared of the dressed up people.

There was a great big bouncy house for the kids, and I wanted to get in.  I don’t really jump much but I like to sit and let the other kids bounce me.

And I said Hi to Daddy through the strings.

And I slid down the big tall slide REALLY fast and fell over at the end.

I wanted to go do more, but there was a bunch of big kids in there and I was too small to play with them.  They were bouncing a lot bigger than I could do.

So I went and found a little seat to rest in.  It was close by Miss Cheryl and PaPaw’s cars, so I just rested with the beads a nice lady gave to me.

But KiKi had to come over too.  She likes to do whatever I do.

She wanted to go in the bouncy house, but she wouldn’t have liked everyone yelling and running over her.  So she just watched outside.

Soon it was time to go back to our church, and we were tired of the sun in our eyes.

KiKi even took her hat off.  And if you don’t do the dress up, you can’t stay at the dress up party.  So we said bye bye to everyone and we left.

Tomorrow night we get to do ANOTHER dress up party!  I can’t wait!
