Williams Syndrome Publicity

(Check out the post below for pictures and gender of baby #2.)

Today is a pretty big day for promoting Williams Syndrome Awareness. First off, back in November I mentioned a documentary called Embraceable - A film about Williams Syndrome. That film is now available to buy today on their website. We haven't purchased it ourselves yet, since the $30 price tag looks a little hefty as we're about to move into a new home and buy new appliances. We are very much looking forward to seeing it though and I thought I'd pass on the information in case others wanted to see it as well.

Also, tonight the TV show 20/20 on ABC will air a segment about Williams Syndrome. This was filmed a while ago and has been in the works for quite some time, so there's been quite a buzz around the WS community about when this would air. Make sure you tune in tonight (you'll have to check for local times) or set your Tivo so you can watch it later. Or you can watch it the next day on Hulu, which is probably what we'll be doing. Whatever the method, don't miss this opportunity. It always excites me to see older children and young adults with WS, because it helps me get a glimpse of what Future Dallin might be like.

We recorded the show. I loved it. The children with Williams Syndrome are so adorable.ABC's website had quite a bit of the show that could be seen online.

We watched the segment at Mom and Dad's house. I really enjoyed watching it.
