This year's World Down Syndrome Day falls on a Thursday. This means my princess will be at school! For her heart day I cut a bunch of hearts out of construction paper and donated them to her classroom for their craft of the day. This year's WDSD theme is "Lots of socks" so I decided to cut out a bunch of construction paper socks!

Raven's class had a blast decorating them!!

Thanks for visiting! I hope you liked our WDSD craft and celebration!! Celebrate with us next year and every year on MARCH 21 (3/21). *This date is significant because 1 of the three forms of Down syndrome is Trisomy 21 (the other 2 are mosaic & translocation). March because it is the 3rd month (TRIsomy- meaning 3 copies) and the 21st because there are 3 copies of our children's 21st chromosome. People without Down syndrome only have 2 copies of all 23 chromosomes -1 from Mom & 1 from Dad giving them a total of 23x2=46. Raven and other children with Trisomy 21 have 47 chromosomes.
