| Hi Daddy! Thanks for taking me to my first Royals game |

Ross,
We took you to your very first Kansas City Royals baseball game on Sunday August 19th. Uncle Andrew gave us some great tickets for the game against the Chicago Whitesox and after it was all said and done, the Royals won 5-2. It was such a beautiful day, sunny and just barely in the 80's. We all got some much needed sunshine and you even got just a little pink, even with sunscreen.
There were so many sights and sounds for you to see and all of the people seemed to really excite you at times. This is the first time I can remember you being awake and so interested in what was going on around you. We even saw people we know at the game.Amy Allison from the KCDSG and her two of her children were there and one of your favorite people in the whole world, Nicole Lindemann your occupational therapist. She was there with her family enjoying the game too. They were so excited to see how healthy and happy you were.
Ross you are such a little charmer...one of the Royals fan club girls noticed you and had to come over and say hello to you. We told her that this was your first Royals game and she gave you a stuffed Royals toy baseball. She thought you were sooo cute and so we just had to take a picture of her and include it in your letter.
Ross we had such a great time sharing this wonderful family time with you. It was such a joy seeing you out in public, fianlly getting to experience the fun things in life. We can hardly wait to take you to lots more fun events and watch the happy smiles on you face. But, do you know what? They won't be as big as the smiles that are on mommy and daddy's face seeing you so happy!
We Love you so much Ross!
Daddy and Mommy

Ross,
Remember I told you about the wonderful people at the Down Syndrome Guild of greater Kansas City? You remember how they helped us to learn about how to care for you and gave us that basket of goodies with toys and books for us. Well, every year they have a fund raising walk to help pay for all of the things to help moms and dads with children who have Down syndrome just like you. The walk is held at Arrowhead stadium, the home of the KANSAS CITY CHIEFS! They are our local professional football team that you will learn to root for when you get a little bigger. Gooo Chiefs! They are mom and dad's favorite football team and some day might be yours too.
You know what else they do at the walk? There are bouncey houses, clowns, face painters, Radio Disney, KC Wolf, balloons, games and all sorts of food eat. It is truly a carnival atmosphere and a great time for all ages! So you see, this is a really big event for you and I'm sure that people will really be surprised on how big you've gotten since last year. We can't wait to see them can we Ross? So everyone make sure you get signed up soon and we will see you there!
Thanks for last years success and Ross Rebekah and I hope you will all join us or make a donation to the KCDSG. Here is the link to join our team.

Letters to Ross: Ross, I dream of the Day!

Ross, I dream of the Day!

| When I look in your eyes, I dream of the day... |
Ross,
I dream of the day...
you will hold your head up, all on your own.
I will shout to the heavens, to let it be known.
you will sit in a chair and hold your own spoon
please Lord don't wait, let is be soon
you will crawl on the floor to get to your toy
like all the other kids, will bring me such joy
you will say your first words, maybe they'll rhyme
but it's okay son, all in good time
you will take your first steps and then smile at me
through all your hard work, we know nothing's for free
you will get on the bus to take you to school
where you'll learn about things, won't that be cool
you will make many friends, run, laugh and play
outside in the grass on a warm sunny day
you will sing me a song with silly made up words
I'll laugh till I cry, sweet things I just heard
you will meet your first girl, maybe a crush
take your time son, don't get in a rush
you will play your first game, in front of a crowd
I'll scream from the stands, you'll make me so proud
you will get your diploma then cross the big stage
a brand new beginning as you turn a new page.
All these things I dream for you will happen in time
together will accomplish them then your dreams will be mine.
I Love you so much Ross!
Daddy
