Our third Buddy Walk took place today. Ronan's Buddy walk team consisted of Me, Both his Grandmas, Grandpa Fullmer, all four of his siblings, his cousins Caleb and Hannah and his Aunt Alana. Isaac was there too but he was one of the photographers. He was helping out another friend of ours take all the official photos.
We made it just in time to get in line for the walk. The turn out was pretty good and there were hundreds of people participating. Ronan fell asleep half way through the walk .
We got a team picture taken and then we took a family one. It's been a while since we've had a family photo together.
Inara enjoyed the day too. Today was her very first day wearing shoes. At first she pulled on them and said "Shoes off." When she realized I was not going to comply to her request she began trying to walk around in them. Her walk looked pretty close to a march.
Inara was excited to find Daddy and had to get some Daddy hugs and kisses.
The boys climbed a few trees and had fun with their cousin Caleb.
Jadzia was thrilled to see Disney princesses present. Mickey was also there but her phobia of costume characters would not allow her to go near Mickey.
Ronan was a star. His picture and bio were featured in the Down Syndrome gallery. Some great ladies took a lot of time to create the adorable posters. Ronan's was on display on an easel. People would look at my shirt and see the name Ronan. They would ask me if I was Ronan's mom. When I said Yes they would say what a cute little super man he is (referring to the symbol on his shirt in the gallery picture). It was a good day for Down Syndrome awareness and thanks to the governor of Iowa today was Down Syndrome awareness day for the state of Iowa. I'm happy that the future is looking brighter than ever for my son.
