Friday night our Elementary school had a 50's sock hop in honor of the school turning 50 years old this year! It wasn't a great experience, but we all looked fabulous of course in our home made poodle skirts and rolled up jeans. Haha! There was a little girl there with down syndrome that Haden played with some. It was a lot better than the first experience he had at the Buddy Walk where he was at the sand table with three girls with down syndrome under the age of 6. He was playing and a fight broke out with two of the girls over a shovel that ended with him getting whacked in the face with the shovel. He began screaming at them and I had to pull him away and try to get him to do something else. I figured there were too many strong wills in that mix.
Friday night he got along really well with this little girl (who was 4 and cute as a button). She and Haden teamed up to grab balls from the basketball throw. They were almost trampled a few times, but had a blast! Once Haden lost his pacifier and she picked it up and put it back in his mouth. So sweet. This goes to show...everyone has their own personality and even my strong willed child can get along with a select few others.
