World Down Syndrome Day

Did you know that every year on March 21st it is World Down Syndrome Day? Do you know why it is on March 21st? March 21st or 3/21. Another name for Down Syndrome is Trisomy 21. Tri means 3. So kids with down syndrome have 3 copies of their 21st chromosome. We all have chromosomes but most of us have 2 copies of each for a total of 46 and kids with down syndrome have 47! Its a lot of technical stuff but that's the jest of it.

So every year all over the USA people celebrate World Down Syndrome Day. This year was the Beck families first year. Mine too!!! We all had a super fun time. I got to meet lots of cool kids. Some had down syndrome and others didn't. Some kids could talk, run, jump and play and others couldn't. What I saw though were just kids. I didn't see their disability just them. Some of their mommies and daddies loved having them so much they adopted more kids with down syndrome from all over the world.




I got to have pizza and cake. Miss Ashlee was busy so she didn't get a lot of pictures of me, but she got a lot of pictures of my new friends I made.



Now its time for me to come home. I can't wait to see you all. I am bringing presents!!! It has been a lot of fun here in Texas but the weather is starting to get hot so it is time to go!



Oh and before you go check out this really cool video.


See y'all soon!!!
