Because WDSD has already passed, we have made some slight changes, but other than that, everything is in Rhi's words. 😊⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Last Sunday was World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD), a day where we get the opportunity to celebrate globally how incredibly wonderful Down syndrome can be. People with Down syndrome, just like any other person, have an inherent right to be accepted and included as valued and equal members of the community and today we celebrate not only their rights but their achievements.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It got me thinking about ways we can be speaking/ teaching diversity to our kids not only on WDSD but every day and our Miniland Dolls with Down syndrome are perfect to help with that. These dolls, like all Miniland Dolls help teach children about diversity and that people present in many different ways but all are worthy of respect. In our home we also have also have a bunch of books that cover a range of diverse cultures and disabilities and we are always opening up conversations particularly for Willow in hopes that she is more accepting of all her peers regardless of anything that society might class as different.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Have you had a conversation about diversity in your home?⁠⁠

Rattan creates an ambience a lot of other materials cannot. It blends beautifully with many textures, allowing flexibility in creating that perfect space.⁠⁠

Ash @our_life_behind_the_lens had done another wonderful job at blending all these elements together with her beautiful room makeover. 😍⁠⁠
