Hi Everyone! 

It’s time for the 10th Annual Tucson Buddy Walk on Sunday, October 23 - a fund and awareness raising event for the Down Syndrome community of Southern Arizona. I’m so excited to participate in my 4th Buddy Walk.
 
I'm officially a Big Boy, I turn 4 on October 28th!   I started my second year of preschool and I love it!  My teacher quickly noticed how much my speech has improved and what a leader I am. Over the summer I attended the same summer camp as my big brother, Diego.  I made so many new friends and had a lot of fun.  I also learned how to swim this summer.  My mom and dad got me involved in hippotherapy at TROT,  I ride my horse Monty almost every week.  At first I was scared and would cry anytime Monty sneezed but I'm much more confident now, my therapist even has me standing on Monty's back!   I still love to play with Diego, Alexa and my cousin, Brooklyn. I've developed quite the sense of humor.  If you ask me what I want to eat I will always say, cookies, cupcakes, donuts!

Love, Mateo (a.k.a. Tater)
