BUDDY WALK FUN!!!!

We had tons of fun today at the Buddy Walk.  It was a bit cold this morning, but the sun was shining and warmed us up really fast.  The kids loved the fun games and activities and I got my exercise in all for a good cause.  Sarah really loved the ducks in the pond and kept saying duck, duck, duckie!  Quack, Quack, woof (a dog went by!).  She is getting so much more vocal.  She has also decided the AFO's are not that bad and really likes to walk in them.  In fact, she was up last night with leg cramps.  Guess I need to watch the walking for a bit until she get use to using her muscles differently.  Here are pictures of our fun day.  Kathryn and some of the ladies she works with at First Steps and their spouses(or soon to be spouse) also walked with us.  I did not get a picture of Sarah with Irene(speech therapist) who was also there.  Several others did I will have to get a copy.  Elijah decorated the wagon for us.  Here we are warming up before we walked.        And we are on our way!  Waiting to get our award! And the winner is SARAH!!! (and all kids with Down syndrome!) And the upset brother who only got a ribbon.  I explained to him that this was for Sarah and on Monday he would have his soccer awards to go to and Sarah would not get anything.  On to the fun!
