3:30 a.m. is just too early to start the day :) Our flights went well. We had a 1 hour layover in Atlanta before taking the last jaunt here to San Antonio. It's been a great first day; and hot! I believe it went to 108 today.
This year's conference got into gear today, and it's been great! We had a chance to visit the vendor room today and I was so honored to meet a very special Mom at the Reece's Rainbow table. I picked up a few things from some friends that are adopting through RR that couldn't make the conference this year. Can't wait until tomorrow to take some more time to browse.
Today there were some sharing sessions, medical sessions, and opening for the conference. This evening we also went to the "Let's Dance!" opening party. I think that may be my favorite part of the conference. The music, the treats, and most of all I just love to see all of the amazing babies, kids, teens,and adults with Down syndrome having such a great time together.
Just before dinner time, we took advantage of the pool and lazy river to cool off. A very nice woman approached me to ask if we were here for the conference. She is a teacher of 3-4 year olds with Down syndrome in a school here in Texas. We had a great conversation, of course, and Abigail just happens to be 4 so we had loads to discuss. How kind of her to welcome us!
I completely forgot that there's a 1-hour time difference here in Texas, from Rochester. I missed calling my girls tonight and feel just awful! We did try even though it was late. I could at least have Grandma let them know that I did call. They must all be sleeping, though, as there was no answer :( I love you my darlings, and I PROMISE I will be sure to check the time carefully so that I can talk to you!
Now, since we've been up since so very, very early this morning, it's time to collapse into bed and get some sleep before tomorrow begins with some great learning sessions. Decisions, decisions. There are so many topic to choose from!
