In honor of World Down Syndrome Day, March 21. Thanks to the IDSC for the idea to write the "I am" posts. My girls with Down syndrome are so different from each other, from other people with Down syndrome, yet they share so many common features, attitudes, abilities, interests and relationships. They are, in a word...people.
