October 17th- Ryan & Sean

“The past 7 years have been some of the best years of my life. The first time I saw Ryan I knew he was going to be special and that he wasn’t any typical kid. I realized that he had Down syndrome and that I was going to have a ton of fun with him. I honestly wouldn’t be here right now without him. When I am down or even anyone he tries his hardest to cheer them up. That is either by trying to play with them or just trying to calm them down. Ryan has really helped me when I am sad and I know that he is going to pass this feature on to many generations to come. To this day he is still the cutest kid on the planet which blows my mind. Over the years my family has been able to say “You’re lucky you’re cute.” Every time I get a feeling of joy in my body to know that I have such a great brother. He also has such a great smile. His smile is contagious and spreads around the room. This is why my little brother and Down syndrome are the two coolest things in the world.”

Sean (Age 11, Brother of Ryan)

Ryan has been an active participant in Dance @ GiGi’s with Steps Dance Center, Leaps and Bounds, and Playhouse Pals
