It’s Halloween 🎃 and the last day of Down Syndrome Awareness Month! Today, one of our videos that I posted a few weeks ago suddenly found its way to some very NOT nice Instagram users. Usually social media for us is just like the girls are in this video - Berries and Lemons and Happy Sweet Times! We rarely get mean comments about Gwen. But today we got a lot of them and it just reminds me why Down Syndrome Awareness Month is so important. The thing is, it’s not really even about special needs when people are rude. If special needs did not exist, a small segment of the population would still find someone or something to hurt. I feel sad for them that they have such anger that they want to spend their days scrolling through Instagram, trying to get reactions from people. I wish they had such happy lives that they could never even think of doing something like that. So I just feel sad knowing that they probably don’t have great home lives or families, or somehow they are struggling. And having a public social media is not always easy or fun, but it serves a purpose of ensuring that someone who is going to have a child with Down syndrome might be able to gain some knowledge and understanding of what to expect from watching Gwen, and also in seeing how Rowan interacts with her. Our page will continue to be a place of joy and happiness. I want our page to feel the way Rowan feels when she sees the moon - she always says, “It’s beautiful! And gorgeous!” Hearing a two-year-old say those words is the funniest thing! But we want you to feel beautiful, gorgeous HAPPINESS when you visit our page and we won’t let anything change that! #downsyndrome #halloweentoddlers #strawberryshortcake #lemonmeringue
