Recently we had the opportunity to visit our son's class room. In September our family attended the 17th annual Buddy Walk in Central Park. We then shared our pictures of the trip to New York City with his 4th grade class. These are kids that he has grown up with. These are kids who spend time with him in the classroom and outside of school. They know him and they know his family. We have tried to help them understand what Down syndrome is and what it is not. We have talked with them about what makes our son like them and in what ways he is different. At the end of our visit we gave the students a chance to tell us how they were 'more alike him than different' and this is what they shared: 'We are alike because we are both boys.' 'We both have blue eyes.' 'We both have one sister.' 'We both are 10 years old.' 'We both have been to Hawaii.' 'He is like me because he was made by God and I was too.' 'We both have glasses.' 'We both wear GAP clothes.' 'We both love our families.' 'We both love to jump on his trampoline.' 'We both like to play outside.' 'We are both smart.' 'We both have a lot of friends.' 'We both like hanging out with our friends.' 'We both like to go on vacation.' 'We both like to have fun.' "We both are cool.' Thank you to one amazing bunch of fourth graders! You are helping us make inclusion and acceptance happen. You are helping us show the world that everyone with Down syndrome is 'more like us than different!'
