Buddy Walk and Signing Time

Posted Oct 06 2009 10:02pm
In just a couple weeks we're going to be attending the Buddy Walk from the Down Syndrome Association of Northern VA.

We went to our first Buddy Walk when Kayla was almost 3 months old and we look forward to going every year. Kayla recognizes the Buddy Walk shirts and says "yay Buddy Walk!" It'll be nice when she realizes the whole reason we go to the Buddy Walks are because of her :)

I'm really excited to go to this one because Rachel Coleman from Signing Time is going to be performing. We started using the Signing Time DVDs before Kayla was a year old and it really helped bridge that gap of communication before she started talking. Lucas is learning signs too, so it's something he and Kayla do together - and it helps reinforce the signs for Kayla again.

The Buddy Walk is Oct 17 in Centreville, VA and it looks like it's going to be a really fun time with a "rock climbing wall, bungee bouncer, mini golf, moon bounce inflatables, pony rides, cartoon characters, a petting zoo, face painters, an exhibitor tent, food vendors, police cars, fire trucks and much more."

If you live in the local area we would love it if you could join Kayla's team and walk with us, or if you would like to sponsor Kayla we appreciate that too!
