“It’s the Friends we meet along the way that help us appreciate the journey . . . . . .”

Blank 17

I would like you to meet
some of my Playhouse friends….. They are so awesome!

Meet my new friend Conrad 😀.

Conrad and his family LOVE LMNOP where they get to meet so many amazing friends, explore, and know that everyone is there to help! Conrad’s mom has seen Conrad grow from a baby to a curious, confident toddler in such a supportive environment. There is always a sense of community among the families too, everyone cares for each others kids like they are their own. Conrad’s favorite food is pancakes and he likes making really cute faces so his sisters share their ice cream with him! He has 100nicknames but a current favorite is “Rad dude”. Conrad’s favorite toy and hobbies are using his drum kit and “reading” all the board books he can get his hands on! (I love playing the drums too!)😀.

Conrad and his family love GiGi’s because of how everyone in the family is welcomed and included (those with DS and without) from such a young age through adulthood. Conrad has 2 older sisters, Izzy is 5 and Eva is 4 and he has 1 dog, Pearl, who steals snacks from Conrad.

Thank you Conrad and family for💕💙💛💕participating in my blog.
