Clever Captions Please!

Last month, Natty was invited to a very special party at the Lord Mayor of London's home. 

(Like you do!) 


Off she trotted, in fancy dress, a little ambassador for children with Learning Disabilities everywhere, and representing Mencap charity. You can read her exciting tale here in Little Red Riding Hood: A Hero with Down's Syndrome

The official photographs have just arrived, taken by Gerald Sharp Photography, London and I thought this one was simply begging to be linked up to Saturday Caption hosted by Mammasaurus


So, captions on a postcard in the comments box below please.

Little Red Riding Hood: A hero with Down syndrome

ONCE UPON A TIME...

in a quiet clearing in a faraway wood, there lived a wise, brave and beautiful young lady named Natalia. Because of her fondness for dressing in a velvet cape of crimson rose, and a frock adorned with pictures of her favourite woodland friends, she became known by all who loved her as Little Red Riding Hood.

Little Red Riding Hood had fought valiantly to become strong, overcoming battles of health and development with a smile. And each day she worked as hard as she could to learn the skills she needed to go out into the big wide world by herself, and each day she drew others in with her humour and vivacious spirit, so that she could teach them all about her inclusive community, her determined family, her zest for life and her famous way of turning Big Bad Wolves into the gentlest of puppies.




Natty gets a very special invitation...

... from the Queen Lord Mayor of London. (We've explained her as 'like the Queen'.)


The Lord Mayor of London is hosting a fancy dress party for 200 children who have made a difference. I guess Natty is unaware of the exact difference she has made to others, either by being part of inclusive advertising as a model with Down's syndrome, or by being a protagonist in the ordinary story that is our family and parenting blog so that new and prospective parents can reassess their understanding of what Trisomy 21 really means in modern times.
