In Absentia

We hate goodbyes... so it was see you later to Kean's speech therapist, Leni today.
She has only been with us for a couple of months and Kean adores her but alas, she
is moving to another company.
Sure hate goodbyes.
We left Fuzzball at home with Grammy this evening and headed out
to the Treasure Valley Down syndrome dinner in honor of National Down syndrome day.
A little lesson for you-- did you know that Down syndrome's official diagnosis is
Trisomy 21 and today being 3-21-2013-- it's Down syndrome day.
Our little peanut was one of tonight's honorees.
He was spotlighted for his courage-- they read an essay about his bravery, gave him an award
and had me say a few words-- yikes.
At least I got through it without losing it.  I tend to be an emotional basket case these days. 
 On top of the dinner and awards, they had a group of darling cheerleaders put on a show.
They had each family make a poster (ours was for Keanut) and hold it high
for the celebratory parade.
 And then they let the kids cut loose with a dance.
It was great fun... and we can't wait to participate on some future March 21st
with our boy.
