October is Down syndrome Awareness Month! Today we are celebrating our friend Jonathan!

Jonathan

We really enjoy our time when we go to GiGi’s! We have met some of the most amazing people there. Our Jonathan is excited when we go. He loves being around all his little friends. We are amazed when we see him trying to keep up with some of them. Over the summer, Jon attended the preschool prep class. It was so exciting to watch him sit at the table during snack time, and actually eat some Goldfish. Prior to that, he was not eating anything by mouth. GiGi’s is the best therapy for Jon!
