October 18 - pictures for Down syndrome awareness month

Max and Sam


back in the innocent age....

And the not so innocent age....
Yes, that is the bedroom wall they decorated. I made them both scrub it for a while. I scrubbed it, I used the Magic easer, but nothing was getting that off! It took 8 coats of paint to cover that lovely artwork up. And that was not all of it. They did every wall, and part of a mattress as well. Oh and themselves!

Oh. My. Goodness. Too bad the Magic Eraser wasn't invented back then, I think that would have worked.

Oh'I think lots of crying would have taken place that day....by me and them :) I'm pretty sure Athur would have had a heart attack. * coats of paint ....REALLY amazing!

This should be a poster for when everyone says "Children with Down syndrome are so loving and INNOCENT" There are times like this when you definitely have to stop and just laugh. It is so much better than crying! I am sure you have confiscated all art supplies now!

OH I did that too only I colored on the linoleum floor in the entire kitchen. And one day I smeared the entire container of cool whip on the tv screen and the entertainment center. I will have to post that picture. They are so cute.
