World Down Syndrome Day!

Okay, so I realize I am WAAAYYYY behind but I am just going to carry on like I am not.  These next few posts will probably be short and sweet or they will NEVER happen!

March 21st is World Down Syndrome Day.  3/21 is significant because people with Down syndrome are born with 3 copies of their 21st chromosome.

We had a fun, FULL day and rocked our Down syndrome awareness shirts all day.

Clay had his annual cardiology appointment at Children's Hospital and everything check out great!  Clay sat through the 30 minute echocardiogram like a champ and his doctor, Dr. Danford, was very pleased with the way everything looks.  We don't go back for 18 months!

Clay's shirt says "Ha ha!  I have an extra chromosome!"

Later in the day, I ran 3.21 miles to raise money for an organization called Research Down Syndrome - more about that in a later post!

Wyatt and Hazel helped me make these 321 cookies for (3/21).  They might not understand Down syndrome but they understand cookies!!!!

I brought the cookies that my little people didn't eat to a get together with my Down syndrome mom's group later that night.  We watched Monica & David, a documentary on a married couple with Down syndrome.  I would highly recommend it to anyone!  I believe you can find it on Netflix.

We had a great day celebrating Clay and all those rockin' that extra chromosome!
