On motion of Representatives Márquez and Pickett, the names of all the members of the house were added to HR 1903 as signers thereof.

The chair recognized Representative Moody who introduced representatives of GiGi's Playhouse, speaking as follows:

I bring to you a fairly personal resolution today and would appreciate your attention. As my parents awaited the birth of their first child they got the news that she would be born with Down syndrome. That news is brought to many parents on many different occasions, and I think my parents' story is very similar to those that encounter that story. It's scary, there's an unknown, and a lot of negative stories are told to you as parents expecting a child with Down syndrome. Unfortunately, they don't tell you the great things that are going to come with that life, with that experience. I know the negative things that they heard were nothing that deterred them.

My father's up in the gallery, and my mother is behind me, and I'm going to introduce some folks that have done great work in Texas to help families and help individuals who live with Down syndrome. I don't know that any of those doctors or any of those experts would have told you that my sister, Melissa, would be in the Texas House today---she sat with me when I was first sworn in---and that she would be here, getting ready to hit the gavel, I think in a little while. Many of them said she would never speak, many of them said that she would not be able to have a productive life, and she's changed everybody's mind. She's taught me and my family more than, I think, anyone else in my life.

It's the same story that Nancy Gianni, who founded GiGi's Playhouse in Illinois, had when they told her that her daughter GiGi would be born with Down syndrome. They started a journey in Illinois in 2003 to create Down syndrome awareness centers---a place for families to go, a place for individuals to go so that they could develop their skills, they could meet with their peers, and they could socialize. Those are all positive things that give value to the lives of those individuals that live with Down syndrome.

My wife and I were spending time with Melissa a few years ago, and she's in the gallery as well, and we said, why isn't there something like this in El Paso? Why isn't there something like this in Texas? We brought that idea to my mother, and like my mother usually does, she took it and ran with it. We found a place---this place, GiGi's Playhouse---online and we started working and building an effort. What was a very small effort in the beginning culminated yesterday in the opening of the first GiGi's Playhouse in the State of Texas. There were close to 400 people at El Paso's opening yesterday. It was an amazing group of people who have come together to build this resource center. One of the most important partners in that journey has been the Junior League of El Paso who took this up as a signature project, bringing fundraising and bringing volunteer hours to the project to make sure that it became a reality.

Before I recognize the folks on the dais, I want to recognize Kerstin Klingstedt, who's in the gallery and worked to set this up in El Paso through the Junior League; my wife, Adrianne, who put this bug in my ear about finding a place like this for people with Down syndrome; David Austin, who's on the board of GiGi's El Paso. My father's up there, as well; he got bumped because my mother's up here on the stage. But let me introduce you to the folks that we've brought here. Nancy Gianni was the founder of GiGi's Playhouse, and she's here. She's travelled all the way from Illinois to be here. I want to thank you for everything you've done. Twenty-two cities have a GiGi's Playhouse now. Twenty-five thousand participants are taking up those programs in those facilities on a daily basis, and that's because of her work. Her inspiration is here today; GiGi is up here. A good friend of mine and former colleague of mine at the district attorney's office, who has been instrumental in her work with the Junior League of El Paso, Dana Irwin Carmona is joining us. They made sure this project happened. Last, but not least, I want to introduce my mother, and my big sister, and an inspiration to me on a daily basis, my sister, Melissa.
