October is Down syndrome awareness month. Yep, we get a whole month. In order to celebrate individuals with DS there are several "Buddy Walks" in the area. Usually each city hosts their own walk. Lincoln had theirs last weekend and of course we just had to be there. Brady was dying to see Miss Claire. He has missed her so dearly.
The two greeted each other quite calmly. Neither was willing to "put themselves out there." With their increasing age, they must be putting up a few walls. After a brisk walk through Lincoln they were reved up and ready to play. Once we got back to Claire's place they were like two peas in a big girl bed. Yeah that's right, against parent consent the two of them were playing in her room....with the door closed! I caught the two of them testing out Claire's new big girl bed. Brady gave it a big thumbs up, which he ascertained by jumping on it and throwing all the pillows off. Claire just tolerated his behavior and chalked it up to immaturity.
This weekend it's Brady's walk and you bet your buns that the Mrs. Shannon to be will be there. Brady has been talking about it all week. He got a hair cut, manicure and hit the gym. He wants to be in tip top shape for his lady. Plus, for the first time ever he is going to give this Buddy Walk a real WALK! Yeah that's right folks....just in time Brady is now walking! OMG! You may catch him crawling every now and then, but most of the time he's giving life a big fat vertical kiss!!!
