Three great smiles

We don't subscribe to the stereotype of people who have Down syndrome as "always happy and loving" - it denies that they can and will experience the full range of human emotional experience. Just try saying it to the parents of a toddler throwing a whopping tantrum or of a teenager who can slam doors with the best of them, or an adult bereft at the end of a relationship. And it doesn't sit well with that other old chestnut about "the stubborn streak" (we'll deal with that another time)!

But there's nothing like a fabulous smile, or an uncontrollable giggle to lift your day - and these are three of the best we've seen lately:



We hope they make you smile too. Wouldn't you love to know what prompted them?
