Down Syndrome Awareness & Acceptance!
Hey GiGi.... Of course the dancing queen was ready for your #GenGdanceoff challenge! CoCo is joining everyone over gigisplayhouse to make sure that all people with Down syndrome are accepted and loved and celebrated all over the world! Who’s ready for the challenge??! Since CoCo learned most of her moves from Mr Bryan himself, it’s only fitting that she nominate linabryan3 and Luke to take on the challenge! Luke & Caroline you ready? 😉 #gigisplayhouse #strongertogether #GenerationG
Sam and Max were roommates and best buds growing up. Sometimes we wonder how much he understands about Max passing away. Death is an strange thing to explain to someone young. One thing I’ve learned about Sam in the last two years is that he just takes life as it comes and always has an invincible innocence, persistent happiness, and otherworldly contentment. In difficult times, Sam is an anchor in my life and I’m blessed by that immeasurably. Thank God for both of my little brothers.
We talk to Sam about Max a lot to keep Max's memory close to him as he grows up. Usually we'll ask him, "Sam, where is Max?" And he's always quick to say, "In Heaven with Jesus!!" #nothingdownaboutit #brothersforever #inspired #upsyndrome #downrightwonderful #upwithdown #gigisplayhouse #nighttoshine #blessed
Peace, love, & acceptance. Yeah baby! Groovy, spooky dance party at GiGi’s! What a blast to celebrate together with friends from the Naval Academy, Oracle, Target and the community! We love our greater-Annapolis family! Thanks to our participant leaders who are learning event planning in our Dancetastic program with Emily & Olivia!

Do you believe in GiGiFIT?
Strength and movement control are SO IMPORTANT to be confident, healthy, and whole. But individuals with Down syndrome have reduced muscle tone, extreme flexibility, and decreased balance, so traditional fitness routines can be risky or even harmful.
GiGiFIT was created in collaboration with skilled Physical Therapists who work specifically with individuals with Down syndrome. Our FREE GiGiFIT programs combine physical therapy and fitness to build strength, endurance, power, joint stability, balance, and movement control!
There’s a myth that people with Down syndrome can’t be athletes. This is NOT TRUE! Prepare to be amazed by the possibilities. People with Down syndrome can be STRONG and COMPETITIVE!
What are you doing for Giving Tuesday? If you believe in GiGiFIT, consider supporting the life-changing GIGIFIT program with supplies and qualified trainers to help build strength and confidence!! #BelieveinGiGis #GivingTuesday #GiGisPlayhouse

Watching Big Sister at swim class😊 Baby Arabella is a true miracle. She was ultimately given a 5-10% chance of ultimate survival after they found fluid surrounding her heart, lungs, stomach, and extremeties at around 12 weeks in utero, a condition called Hydrops. This was in addition to the Down Syndrome diagnosis. They thought she was in heart failure and could see some unknown serious heart defects. Every time I went in for an ultrasound, (every 1-2 weeks),it was to check when her little heart had stopped beating. But little by little the ultrasounds were showing improvement! The fluid was disappearing from her extremities, then her stomach, then her lungs, and finally, her heart. Then ultimately, it was gone! And her heart? No heart failure and only a couple of very minor defects. So many people prayed for this little baby and I am forever grateful to them and to God. She is our miracle. Read her full story here: https://feedingtrials.com/our-miracle/#downsyndrome#downsyndromelove#downsyndromeawareness#downsyndromeawarenessmonth#theluckyfew#gigisplayhouse#gigisplayhousephx#sharingdownsyndromeaz#sharingdownsyndrome#hydrops#hydropssurvivor#miraclebabybella#downsyndromelove#gcwbaby#cricutexploreair2#cricutcreated#gcwbaby#hydrops#hydropssurvivor#globaldownsyndromefoundation#worthy#dsdn#nobodytoldme#positiveaboutdownsyndrome#iceland#statementonesies#babylove#momlife#miraclebaby

My Little Rock star. My model ❤️ Gigi’s playhouse and Bloomingdales organized with amazing event last night and we had the honor to be a part of it. Laksh and many other amazing kids rocking an extra chromosome also rocked the runway. It was a show filled with fun, joy, and sass. We were so honored that Laksh’s grandparents could be a part of this event and flew in from India couple of days before. Thank you everyone who helped organize this event and the associated press that covered the event, and all the models!! #livelifelakshsize #clapforlaksh #lakshontherunway #lakshandfriends #babymodel #bloomingdales #gigisplayhouse #nyc #fashionshow #downsyndrome #downsyndromeawarenessmonth #downsyndromerocks #homiewithanextrachromie #repthepack #mysonshine #myprideandjoy #lakshstar
