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

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.

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
GiGi’s Playhouse Annapolis couldn’t be more proud of our Fantastic Friend Robert Wallop!

Robert, son of Doug and Ann Wallop, has been selected to dance in front of the So You Think You Can Dance judges in LA on March 20, the day after Robert defends his two time World Special Olympics Dance Challenge medal in Abu Dhabi.

Here is my Generation G Dance Challenge for Down syndrome awareness month! I take the pledge to be accepting, generous, and kind! Luckily, I have an amazing role model because my mom is the national speech and language pathologist at GiGi’s Playhouse! (Shoutout to Dr. Jay) I’m dancing to @jpvamusic song,“He’s Different” which I had the pleasure of hearing live at GiGi Fest on Sunday! Go follow @gigisplayhouse and show your support! I challenge anyone and everyone to dance it out and take the pledge!

My brother is a rock star. I’ll always be proud to be his brother. I can’t even imagine who I’d be today without this little guy in my life to constantly remind me what life is about and to live in the present moment. And when it comes to loving people without any agenda or hidden motives (except when he wants his much coveted trifecta: a hamburger, French fries, and a chocolate shake) I can truly say I look up to my little brother more than anyone else. Thank you God for Sam! It’s amazing how I can be halfway across the globe and miss him! #upsyndrome #nothingdownaboutit #gigisplayhouse #downrightwonderful #specialolympics #specialneeds #thebest #brother #holyland
We absolutely believe in dreaming big!! Achieve, Believe, Celebrate and definitely dancing, always dancing!!
Tell someone you know about GiGi’s Playhouse and challenge them to the #GenGDanceOff today!!🎉
