I'm a big fan of So You Think You Can Dance on Fox. Last night we were watching it on the DVR and when this young man appeared, I stopped and said, "No way!" Both M and I stopped what we were doing and watched...here's what we saw.
After it was over, we we grinning, talking about how great his speech was and all kinds of what I call "geeky" DS stuff (therapies, diagnoses, characteristics, etc). Then we both said that the blogs would go wild in no time. This is just the kind of thing that we like to see, so why not post it?!?
This morning, there are entries on a few forums I watch, and Meredith is the first blog on my reader to post on it. I'm sure more will follow. But all blogging silliness aside, this guy is really neat. He is a neat guy, DS or not, but I personally believe that at least part of it is because he IS who is IS and has learned to be more than ok with that. That's all we want really. Go Brett!!

ReplyDeleteI saw that and I thought of you. I almost called, but then I remembered i was watching it via DVR and the show was an hour later. I loved it!! I could see Braska up there in a few years getting her groove on too!! Hope everyone is doing well. I have a blog question, so If I can't figure it out, I will call you!

ReplyDeleteI have almost come to the conclusion that I have to quit reading this blog. Too many tears and you know me, I don't cotton to getting that close to my feelings.
ReplyDeleteGreat kid. I think he is more normal -- and certainly more preferable -- than many of the young men I see nowadays! Thanks for sharing this beautiful story.
ReplyDeletethank you soooo much for posting this!
ReplyDeleteHow great! I hadn't seen that! Thanks for showing me and you are right, his speech is great! (as a mom of 5 kids with speech problems, it's the first thing I notice with disabled children)
