Awareness.

It's Down syndrome awareness month.
Have I ever mentioned that Ella has Down syndrome? Ha.

I've taken to calling her Ella Wintour.
I'm sure Ms. Anna would be mortified by the jelly stains
on her Gymboree pa-ja-mas.

I have wondered what I should be saying, if anything about Down syndrome awareness month. So this got me thinking...

Perhaps some of you have questions about Down syndrome, or about Ella specifically. And maybe you'd be too embarrassed to ask me, or anyone else. Maybe you think that your question might seem a bit silly or offend me. I don't want you to think for a minute that it would. Bruce and I didn't know one person with Down syndrome before we had Ella, so we've been there. We've asked lots of questions. We still have questions.

So, for this post, if you have a question about Down syndrome, or Ella specifically, I'd like to ask you to comment anonymously. I'll close the comments on Wednesday sometime.

I can't wait to see how we can all become more aware.

The comments are now closed. I'll have a post, or two, or three answering these questions in the near future.
