31 for 21: Trip with Coach Katie

Braska reporting: Last week on Friday, Mommy and I took a trip with Coach Katie.  She went with us to talk to a bunch of 6th graders in another town a little far way from here about Down syndrome.  Mommy talked to 6 classes of them… she said the same thing every time and they watched a video.  Coach Katie talked, too. She told a little about my cheer squad that I was on last year. 

After we talked, we went and had some lunch with the teachers. One of them is Mommy’s friend from a long time ago.  Me and Katie took some silly pictures, too.  Well, mostly I was silly…

It was fun day.  This is our second year to go down there and talk to the kids. And we’ll probably go next year, too.

Celebrity in training

There’s been some things like web pages and booklets that have my pictures on them lately.  And lots of my friends are there, too.  Here’s a couple if you want to see them!

**Be sure to check out the DSAGSL.org page about WDSD. Some familiar faces helping the page be adorable! 

**This was the All Ability Expo where my cheer squad did a show.  I’m in there if you look for me. (5th picture from the top)

**And here’s our little email newsletter from the DSAGSL.  Each week I get to be up there in the top with my smile!

We heard that I’m also on one of those big signs next to the highway for one of my schools, but we haven’t seen it yet.  It’s on one of those like a TV that changes it’s picture every minute or so, and we haven’t been able to see if it’s me yet.

128/366 Busy Monday: Standing tall

Mondays are busy around here.  First I go to school.  Today, Mya came to feeding with me, and she helped me.  She is so good at teaching me new stuff.  Everybody should get to have a friend like that.

After nap, I go to swim with Miss S.

After swim, I get dried off and we pick up KiKi and Daddy so we can go to cheer!  Tonight I practiced climbing up and standing tall with my coaches.  The first time, I did a little better by doing my high-V instead of just holding on to them.

And then the second time, I did even better!  I let go and did a high-V way up on top!

KiKi likes to do the big stand-ups too.  Here was her first one tonight…


And here’s her second one, when they went all the way up!!

See me there at the bottom looking up at her?  I am not ready to be up that high yet, but yay for KiKi!

After cheer, we go home and go to bed. It’s a full day!  Monday’s are fun at our house!
