Guest guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 The homecoming dance was last night. was invited to go to dinner first with his friends from the SDC class...he had invited a girl he REALLY likes who (has DS) is kinda shy and attends another high school. To protect her identity I will change her name to . invited her and was so excited for her to go to homecoming with him. I took him to order her wrist corsage and he paid the $25.00 from his own money. Her mom brought her to meet us at the high school for photos before, then we all went to dinner... was very sweet, putting his arm around her, introducing her to everybody. He paid for her dinner too (out of his money) We went to the dance (I was chaperoning) and they stood in line to get in, he introduced her to a gazillion of the other teens in line...I truly didn't realize HOW many people in this school of 3,300 know him! They went in and started dancing...and then it happened...the 'typical' students kept coming over and dancing with both of them--boys, girls, groups of kids--at first it was nice, everybody was included..but then decided to do 'his version' of break dancing. So he moved away from and started doing his cartwheel/handstand/helicopter moves. A group of kids surrounded him in a circle and were cheering him on...and there was ...all alone...some girls came over and danced with her for 1 or 2 songs..but they moved on...and had LEFT and went to dance with some OTHER kids! I went over and told him he could not ditch , she didn't know anybody and he was being rude...he went into the crowd and disappeared. 's mom decided that was tired and decided to just take her home... will be writing a letter of apology today and won't be allowed to take another girl to a dance till Prom....in 3 years. He danced the rest of the dance with everybody there--and so did the other kids from the SDC class--we have an incredible group of kids at our high school--'s just no one of them. , Mom to 15, DS, Southern CaliforniaTo succeed in life,you need three things:a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone.~ Reba McIntyre Diagnosis Down Syndrome: A Site of Hope for New Parents or Parents with a Prenatal Diagnosishttp://www.leeworks.net/DDS/What to Say to Parents of a Child with a Diagnosishttp://www.leeworks.net/DDS/speech.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
