31 for 21: Super cute homecoming queen

These stories come up occasionally… and people seem to have different perspectives on them.  So I thought I’d invite discussion here.

Read here and here, as an example at one school.  And then please share your thoughts (politely and respectfully, of course).

I’ll say up front… I think it’s great. I think she’s clearly adored. But not everyone agrees.  What do YOU think?

  1. I can't seem to make up my mind tonight - food at IEPs? Homecoming queens? Dunno. I guess MAYBE, at a smaller school where everyone really does know her & has probably known her since Kindy. My fear would be that they're just trying to make up for years of being mean or ignoring her. But I saw Carrie at a young age & it scarred me.

    [Also, I'm being over-sensitive about the phrasing in the article - what "long odds"? Why doesn't she "fit the part"? ....And I think I just contradicted myself there. *sigh* Dunno.

  2. Those students know the meaning of "...it is more blessed to give than receive." Those students who voted for Mariah were the real winners!

Multi-mothering

Last week, Jen , Mark, and Sophie came to town for Sophie's ear tube placement at SLCH . We met up after the procedure at the Galleria so Jen could snag some shoes for Sophie (not that she was able to get what she wanted, unfortunately, but the Robeez Sophie got were super cute!). The double stroller we have is very good, it maneuvers very smoothly and opens and folds up really easily. Since it's so easy to deal with, I thought I'd add another task or two to the situation... Most of you know that you can click on the pictures in any post and they'll open up bigger. But in case you can't see clearly enough... Is there a law against driving a double stroller with one hand while holding a newborn with the other while holding the bottle with my chin?? (No, but there should be a law against that double chin that is created with this position!)

BabyLegs Giveaway

That's right! A BabyLegs Giveaway!! BUT...this giveway has an extra dose of generosity required for the participants. Can you handle it? BabyLegs has been so great to us, and they have surprised me once again! It all started back when the superb Tricia and Little Miss G sent Braska a pair many moons ago. We'd seen them on a few of our little blog friends, and I thought they were adorable. And the idea of keeping Braska warm while being able to access her g-tube without having to undress her was very appealing. So when we received our surprise pair from our friends out East, we were just plain giddy! I quickly ordered several more pairs to go with her wardrobe. It didn't take anytime at all for BabyLegs to become my standard gift at baby showers, and I especially loved sending them to moms that I found who had fresh little new babies with DS. They're perfect for everyday with a long-sleeved onesie, they are great under a little dress, and they are so helpful with thera...
