Tomorrow, October 1st, begins the first day of the 5th Annual 31 for 21 Challenge. Are you ready?? I am. I guess. I mean, why not? Right? We can do it!
Get your typing fingers ready, folks! We have 31 (at least) posts to write. I discovered that I have less than twenty to write before I reach two thousand! Wow! What's thrity-one more in the grand scheme of things?
Sign up here, tell your friends, and happy writing! I hope to check out some of your blogs over the coming weeks. And please back and tell me how it's going!
And remember, while the only real rule is that you post once (at least) a day for the thirty one days in the month of October, it's great if you mention somewhere, somehow that you're doing the challenge to raise awareness of Down syndrome.
Goooooo, 5th Annual Challenge!!!! Hurrah!
(By the way, I noticed some folks signed up on last year's linky. Make sure if you want to sign up for this year's challenge you do so below or on any of the linkys from THIS year 2011.Thanks!)


last year we got our diagnosis oct. 4th and this challenge was going on. It was the biggest help. I am so excited to take part this year!!

I linked on my blog (and posted for today!) but I don't know if I'll make every day this month. Ben's only 2 months old, so I don't know much yet. I'm planning to do a lot of reading, though. Thanks to everybody for sharing their experiences!

Thanks, T, for setting this up again! I heart you! I'm so glad to have you for my friend :)

I'm going to try it...I'm taking a vacation without my kiddos though in the middle of this month, so I might be too relaxed to blog. We'll see.
