What Is World Down Syndrome Day | 2012 | Noah's Dad

I have to admit that prior to Noah being born I had no idea that March 21st is World Down Syndrome Day, so don’t feel bad if you didn’t know either. But it is. And if you will give me about 3 minutes of your time, I’ll tell you what it’s all about, and try to give a quick answer to the question, “What is Down syndrome?

Noah and I put together a short video to tell you a little bit about World Down Syndrome Day and why the date 3:21 is significant. I hope you find it informative and enjoyable! And hey if not, no worries. You’ll get to see a cute little boy for a few minutes that I’m sure will brighten up your day. So it’s a win either way. 🙂

By the way, be sure to check out Noah’s Dad Youtube channel where you can watch all of our videos!)
