Some of the best things come in twos! Hayden belongs to a play group for other children with Down Syndrome. She goes every week, and has made a lot of good friends. One of her friends is a couple years older than her, and her name is Katelyn. She is 13, and spent the night at Hayden's house. The next day, they decided to come over for a swim day at Aunt's house.
We played lots of fun games, and basically enjoyed a day of fun in the water. The most memorable moment, was when Katelyn and Aunt had to close their eyes so that Hayden could throw the diving sticks in the pool, so we could all race to see who would get the most dive sticks. Katelyn and Aunt were both "closing their eyes", when Aunt looked over and saw that Katelyn was actually CHEATING by watching where Hayden was throwing the sticks. Katelyn saw she was "busted" by Aunt for cheating, and started laughing, and with all the simplicity and pureness that could come from her heart, turned to Aunt, giggling, and said "I LOVE YOU!" I love you too, Katelyn.
