“Have you ever heard of something called Down Syndrome? If you haven’t well this is what it means…it means that people with Down Syndrome have an extra chromosome. A chromeosome is like a lego in your body building up you. This is a story about a place called GiGi’s Playhouse. It all started when my brother was born. My family finally told me that when my brother was born he would have something called Down Syndrome. Years past and we finally heard about a place GiGi’s Playhouse in Castleton that was going to open in like a month or two. So one night we looked inside it when they were tareing the old place down. I think it was a restaurant before. Then a few months past, and they had just started getting the paint of and stuff. At that time my mom got intrested in GiGi’s Playhouse that she became on the board of it. We have had manny great memories there and now it’s really popular they even got an award! GiGi’s Playhouse has really helped my brother, he loves it! And the great thing about GiGi’s Playhouse is you meet other familes Down Syndrome my family and I have definitly met some other people!
