Day 27 - Splashing in the Water!

Today's common topic for 31 for 21 is "What I wish people would understand about Down Syndrome." That is an easy one: I wish people would understand that people with Down Syndrome are people just like everybody else. Despite some extra challenges, Connor is a "normal" toddler who likes to do "normal" toddler things. For example, Connor loves splashing in the water.

Bathtime is one of his favorite times of the day!  He loves to splash and color on the sides of the tub. He uses cups to rinse himself and even pours the water over his head.

Connor loves to play and splash in his little pool in our backyard....

He also enjoys swimming in Pa's nice warm pool. This past summer he spent a lot of time hanging around the stairs splashing and playing, but also enjoyed riding around in tubes and splashing along the way.

We also find Connor splashing in the toilet when someone forgets to shut the bathroom door and in Loxi's water bowl when we forget to hide it on the counter! I don't have any pictures of this as since I am running after him to remove him from the nasty situation =)
