I Hope You Dance
Another funny story:
I bring Sawyer out of the bathroom with his cow-self. He runs around saying (rather loudly),
"Moo, Moo, MOOOOOOO" (ala Click Clack Moo, Cows That Type) He does this several times, talking over the teacher and everyone else. Now, to be fair the other kids were equally excited about their costumes and all were talking over the teacher. So, he's running around the room, mooing. Every so often, he stops, grabs his tail, and says, "nice tail".
Here are a few of my favorite costumes:
I hope a month of hearing about Sawyer will open your hearts and minds to those with 'Special Needs'. To be honest, I think it's the ones without Down Syndrome who are the ones with 'Special Needs'. Truly, I think Sawyer has it right. He loves without question. He laughs with ease. He doesn't judge by outward appearance. He sees past that and truly sees what is on the inside. People always say "don't judge a book by its cover" but they don't mean it. Sawyer gets it. He sees what God tells us to see. It's an awesome gift to be able to live like that. We should all be so blessed.
