Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Your is awesome! What a sweetheart to do that!!! Carolyn "People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it!" ~ Chas -- [DownSyndromeInfoExchange] Another story Saturday night we went to the 2nd playoff game for 's high school's football team---each game they've had they are pre-picked to be slaughtered and somehow they have won anyway---they were doing great in this game, ahead and with one bad call by the refs lost a touchdown they should have had...so they lost by 4 points. The stadium was designed so the first row of fans is low enough to jump over the rail and be on the field easy--so when the game ended and saw that people were going onto the field, so did he! I couldn't get to him to stop him...he was going up to each player, patting them on the back and saying 'You'll do better next year'. Most of those tough football players were crying, and here's trying to cheer them up. And I'm sure they really weren't into it, but maybe it helped! , Mom to 15, DS, Southern California"People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it!"-------Chas 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...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Great story! Don't we always try to restrain our child with Ds from doing stuff like this? And so often they are well received in doing exactly what needed to be done and said. Sometimes it seems empathy for others has been triplicated. ette mom to Faith (11)Ds -------------- Original message from " McElwee" : -------------- Saturday night we went to the 2nd playoff game for 's high school's football team---each game they've had they are pre-picked to be slaughtered and somehow they have won anyway---they were doing great in this game, ahead and with one bad call by the refs lost a touchdown they should have had...so they lost by 4 points.
