March 21st is World Down Syndrome Day! This year is so exciting because it’s officially been recognized by the United Nations.
I’m especially excited about this day because it will bring more awareness to Down Syndrome. This is important to me because one of my best bloggy friends Carrie from Carrie with Children has an amazing daughter who has Down Syndrome. Make sure to read Carrie’s story about Molly!
I was so excited to be able to meet Molly last year when we were at Disney World for a conference. It was so special to cuddle with this gorgeous little girl!
Molly is such a special little girl – she is exceeding expectations and defying odds every day! I love when Carrie shares special milestones about Molly with me and her blog!

Hi everyone, my wonderful daughter,Julie who is now 25yrs, she is a wonderful well mannered girl who loves life. I wish to let parents know what I think is most important about raising a child with down syndrome well this can include all kids but i feel even more important for kids with down syndrome to make them more free and acceptable in society. parents have to be in charge meaning teaching them the right way to do things. If you say no about something then stick to this no , don’t turn it into a yes. you have to be stricked in a loving sincere way to get the optimal results for your child.goals-good manners-well dressed-normal weight with healthy habits from birth like going to the park every day for fun and exercize- a family therapist in Oprah said once and I never forgot this; If you don’t say no to your child when it’s necessary, you don’t love your child. Ann” God Bless” All
