Have you missed me?
Ok. Maybe you haven't. Although, I know at least my dad has. He told me so on the phone today!
Well, get ready, because you won't have time to miss me in October. I will be coming to you LIVE EVERY DAY (or, maybe not LIVE, per se, but you know, DAILY). It's that time of year again...the 31 for 21 Blog Challenge to Raise Awareness of Down Syndrome!
Though I know I am barely even getting the word out in time, I am hoping some of you (Hello? Is there anybody out there? *crickets chirping*) will join me.
Here are the rules:
1. Sign up using the Mister Linky form below.
2. Commit to blogging in your blog everyday for the month of October (which is Down syndrome Awareness Month).
3. And then...um...blog in your blog everyday for the month of October!
You can choose to write about life with DS or...not. It's up to you. But if you at least mention the challenge and start writing EVERYDAY it's bound to go NOTICED. Personally, I find that I go back and forth, sometimes I write about DS because hey, it's a part of our life, and sometimes I don't, because hey, guess what? It's just a part of our life!
Here's step 4: Grab the button (by clicking the link that says "Grab this Button above") designed by the lovely RK so people will recognize that we're doing something here! Power in numbers, baby! The button''ll link back to this post and hopefully more people will sign up to participate in the challenge!
See you in October! If you're anything like me, it's a busy month and we'll have PLENTY to blog about!
We'll see if I can make it every day for a month. I've never been able to do it before, but man, do I need to start posting more often.

I think I can...I think I can. I'm sure going to try. And I WANT to do better about actually talking about the DS and it's relative involvement in life... we shall see.

This'll be the first year I do this! I think I can do it . . . I'm definitely going to try :).

I'm there man! It's the month when I get my stats soaring only to watch them dwindle as I write less after it's done! Looking forward to it- nice button!

Oooh, this might be tough! I'm so out of the habit of blogging ... but it should be fun! :)
Thanks for putting this together again!!

ME ME ME! I've been terrible lately! It could possibly have something to do with having 3 blogs going at once, and the fact most of my attention is going to my adoption blog. LOL But I'm going to give it a shot!
Posted by: Leah Spring | 2010.09.29 at 08:36 AM
I was just asking about this on BBC! I'm in. Hopefully my button is working- I have the hardest time adding them to the blog for some reason.
Posted by: Cole | 2010.09.29 at 08:45 AM
Although I am feeling blogged out right now, I can't miss this. So of course I'm in!
Posted by: Michelle | 2010.09.29 at 08:58 AM

Posted by: Tina | 2010.09.29 at 09:27 AM
I will try, scouts honor, though I'm exhausted in just thinking about it.

We are in for the challenge this year, I hope we can do it.

I am going to try not to miss a day, it can get challenging, but I think it is important.
The new button is great!
Posted by: Kris | 2010.09.29 at 11:35 AM
I will give it a shot!! Never have even come close to posting everyday, but I am proud to be a part of Ds awareness!

Hi! I found you through another blog. Yesterday I actually decided to do the same thing. I wasn't aware that someone had the whole linky thing together with a button and such. Very cool!
Posted by: Renee | 2010.09.29 at 01:35 PM
Thrilled to be apart again this year! Now off to blogging ;)
