Q&A #110

That is one fine looking pizza. Is that your little guy falling asleep after a big meal? Such a guy.
Yep! LOL Apparently baking wears him out! LOL I should have gotten pictures of the kids EATING the pizza, but we were ALL eating and I didn't really think about it! Then when I saw him falling asleep in his chair, I couldn't resist snapping a couple pics!

Joe Corbis fundraiser pizza?
Yep!

Kennedy always has the cutest Clothes. Where do you shop for her? I have a TALL 2 yr old (38 inches) and I like her dresses not short.
I can't remember where that particular dress came from. I mostly shop at Target and Children's Place though. They are my favorites! :)

So what books did Kass and Kam get?
Kassidy got a book called Sheep


Kameron got a book called Cyberia


and Kennedy got this one... which she calls the kitty book. :)


What a great idea and wonderful for the children to learn to give back to the community. Can I get more into on this some how? I would love to have our church do this.
Let me get back to you on this :).

I'm not sure which I like better, the fact that Kameron wanted his stuff on your blog or the fact that you posted a disclaimer about his toys. Heehee. You crack me up!
Just saves me from having to address the issue later in this post now! LOL

What are Tots?
Tots are given out in Sonic kid's meals (hence my disclaimer on my post). We went there once and the kids got them and fell in love with them. They are basically little soft toys resembling tater tots... with legs. They each have a cute name to go with them. They had the original set and then came out with a Halloween set and then a zoo set. They don't DO anything, but they're great for playing pretend!

We had a lot of those but I donated them since they kids have SO much crap and barely played with them. I'm guessing that Kameron already has the ones we did! He has A LOT!! We got one yesterday at Sonic-- I think it is dressed for Halloween. I really didn't look at it though. I opened it and handed it over.
Yeah they have them ALL. (Uhhh until Sonic comes out with new ones anyway lol.) Kass and Kam got them last year for their birthdays and Christmas and they play with those things ALL the time. We have had Tot parades, they have played school, house, had tot wars, and a million other things. It makes me laugh because they would rather play with those than all the electronic stuff we have in the house! Best present we ever bought!

I'd forgotten it was also called Trisomy 21....subtract 3 genes and Kennedy wouldn't be here. Have friends who lost their children to Trisomy 18.
This is very true... kids with Trisomy 18 and 13 usually don't live very long. Sweet babies...

I don't know what TYPE my son has but it does really matter to know something you can't change? for me i really don't care to know what type he has i just love him the way he is...
That was kind of the point of the post ;). It doesn't matter. You either have it, or you don't. However, for educational purposes, I think it should be stated that there ARE indeed three TYPES of Ds. I happen to know which kind Kennedy has because of her Karyotype. Does it matter? No. Is she any better or worse off than someone with a different type of Ds? Nope. I probably won't know which type Kellsey has. I'm totally ok with that, because really, it makes no difference. I apologize if I didn't convey that in my post.

Here's a karytotype of translocation Down syndrome... this isn't a TRUE karyotype, but it at least shows how the extra chromosome attaches to another chromosome. Here it is attached to the 14th chromosome. I just said the word chromosome A LOT in that sentence! haha
