We Meet Again

Our playgroup met again this past Saturday. The kids enjoyed playing in the small swimming pool while the adults got to have a little time learning more about eachother. It was also very neat being able to interact with other children as well. Here are the pictures from our time together.

The Whole Gang

This picture was so funny to me! I was looking at everyone in the picture and then noticed Mattie. On the next picture, I zoomed in on the shot.

Mattie giving Caroline one big lick! So funny!

New Friends and Laughter

Yesterday, Mattie and I got to finally meet some children from our area that also have Down syndrome. What an exciting day! We are part of a newly formed playgroup for kids with disablities. Our first playgroup date was a trip to the swimming pool for swim lessons. We will be getting together on Saturdays until the class ends. It was so nice getting to meet the other parents and their awesome children. We are looking forward to seeing them again on Saturday. I didn't get any pictures since I was in the pool with Mattie. Hopefully I will get to share some pictures in the near future.

So now that I've shared about New Friends, I can't help share a little bit of laughter.

My Caroline can be such a nut. The other night, we are finishing up with dinner. I mention that if we clean up quickly, we can play Pictionary. We clean up, hubby and I are chatting. Caroline comes running from downstairs so excited. She's jumping up and down, let's play Dictionary! Let's play Dictionary. And what does she have in her hands.....her brand new pocket dictionary for school. Exactly, how do you play dictionary? Too funny. Then today, we are leaving the restaurant and she grabs a toothpick. She informs me that the "Q-tip" tastes just like peppermint. That funny girl! I love this age!

How Cool Is This?

After going to a friend's basketball game, we all headed over to one of our favorite restuarants. We had put our name in and while waiting we met these wonderful people! Two of the girls just happen to have Down syndrome too. They were so very nice and we absolutely loved talking with them. The girls are on a Cheerleading Squad together and even went to China for the Special Olympics! How exciting! Mattie really took to them and had no problem being passed around. Abby just happen to have her camera so we took a picture of the girls together. What a special moment we won't forget! After finding out Mattie had ds, we were always told you will meet wonderful people along your journey. How true that is!

Of course....I gave them my blog address so if you come visit my blog...please let me know when the girls will be performing. I would love to come and watch!
