PS I hope i didnt leave anyone out it took me ages going through all the posts to make sure i got all our precious kids. I think everyday should be their day

Happy Ds day everyone

Amarlismum thanks for posting
i was just thinking anyone buy their child anything ? I didn't think of it. I might from now on start a tradition.

Well done Robyn!! That's great to have a list of everyone altogether I didn't realise we had so many That's great to know that Jirah has a few prospective husbands Not that she will necessarily marry someone with DS anyway!!

Happy Down Syndrome Day everyone We're making Hot Cross buns....maybe we'll make a point of celebrating tomorrow when there's nothing else on...

Happy DS day to you all too

We are off to have a celabatory lunch with my family who have been a fantastic support to us in this past year...

Ladybug I love your sig pic what program did you use to make it ?

I love the sig too let us know how to do it, i want one too
Cathy i think it would be a good idea to start a tradition of giving something on this day
I dont know , maybe a book or something that they could collect every year. Amarli is abit little this year to do anything but im going to think of what i can collect for her, maybe a charm bracelet, and get a different charm each year What do you think?

Yeah a charm of some sort Something really special [size=9]
Have a look at these I think it would be easy to make something ourselves
Keeping in with 3/21
Easy to find #21 charms just finding them without the st attached then like they have 3 of something here it’s the coloured stones.
But what to do for a boy? http://www.mhdsa.org/OnlineGiftShop.htm

I think and italian charm bracelet would look ok on a boy. You can add/take away links as you please. I'm sure I've seen a Down Syndrome Ribbon before but couldn't find one today. Some charms shops even do customs if you provide the wording/pics.

I saw this on on ebay awhile back its finished now but we could still contact them to see if we can get them.
This would be good for boys and girls and if we started with the ribbon on a bracelet we could then decide every year what we would add. And the best part is this bracelet grows with the child. I'll email them and find out if they still have it or can do them for us.

Not sure on a bracelet for my boy.
any-one know how the yellow and blue colour came about for the ribbon? I posted on down syn haven’t' had a reply yet I must remember that it could be night for so many of them

Yeah, I've often wondered that too...

Thanks guys I did it in Photoshop. I have been meaning to do one to celebrate the entire month but have been so busy!

All I did was save the images of the World Down syndrome day website and then had a play around with them. The font I had previously downloaded from a font website and it is one of my fav's.

I love the idea of giving her a little pressie and a charm braclet is brilliant. I am not sure if we would go with a dangling one braclet or one in the Italian style - decisions decisions...

Not sure what to do with a boy, sorry Aden's Mummy. I will have a think about it for you...

Cathy, when my son was little he used to wear a bangle around his ankle, all my kids did. I've added a photo of Amarli's on here.
And not to mention the piercings he had his ear done when he was a few mths old and i wont mention the ones he got later in places that even i went ouch :no: though now he doesnt have any.
I like the Italian bracelet and im waiting for a reply to see if they still have the Ds ribbon. I took a look on the website and they do some really nice ones with son,daughter etc on them i think this would be the one you could add to every year.
