Where did you hear that the baby has Down's? I've heard that rumor, too,
but AFAIK right now, that's just a rumor. I'm sure The Guv will do a
press release tomorrow.
I've been in close contact with several Down's kids over the years,
through driving Special Ed schoolbus and through friends who have kids
with Down's.
Here's my opinion on the syndrome: the kids tend to be really delightful
kids. They're funny, affectionate, highly-opinionated and fun to be
around. I know one adult with Down's who works as a stocker in a grocery
store. He does a great job and takes a lot of pride in working and in
doing his job well. His employer loves him. And his parents adore him.
Did you see Trig Palin's picture in the paper? He's sure a cute little
guy!
