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?

    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.

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

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...

Peek at tomorrow

This weekend we were at my in-laws' place for a very quick visit. We went largely for a housewarming for Cheryl and Ethon, which was Sunday afternoon. They have a pretty darn cool place, so yay for you guys! Sunday morning pictures are normal, we do them alot. This week, before we left for church, Carole took a few pics of my little poonchin. They didn't all turn out great, as she kept making funny faces and moving at the last second. I stole them off her camera for my collection, and when I looked at this one I just kind of stopped. It's not any super great picture. It's cute, but hey, how could it not be? She's waving at herself, that's the reason the hand is up. But that's not what I saw. Go ahead, click on the picture. Can you see it? I don't see Down syndrome. I don't see a feeding tube. I don't even see a tough cookie, open-heart surgery survivor. It's not my favorite picture of her ever, but I can't hardly stop looking at it. This...
