Ryan gives great hugs!
We had a great time hanging out in NYC this week with Ryan Langston and his family. Both of our families are excited that all of these doors have opened to help the world see that kids like Ryan and Noah who are born with Down syndrome are ok!
We're glad to call Ryan a friend!
About Rick Smith
Love the pictures! Thank you Ryan for sharing your beautiful bright smile with the world, and to Noah’s Dad, thank you for being the change you want to see in the world and thank you for showing the world that Down syndrome really is o.k. Our children are beautiful inside and out, we are blessed.
Thanks so much for your support. 🙂
Yes they are OKAY! These pictures are so cute! The only thing missing was my favorite little Noah. We are so glad you got to meet the Langston’s and their beautiful children! Thank you for sharing!
They were great, we had a lot of fun. I’ll have to post some of Noah and Ryan hanging out. They were best buddies.
Ryan rocks. Noah rocks. All of us whose livea are made richer by our kids with Down rock!Am I right or am I right?
I think we can all agree that parenting in general rocks…. 🙂
Hope you and your family is doing well.
I really love your blog! been reading for quite some time. I have a 16 and 17 year old and it seems that the Toys-r-Us catalog had special needs children many years ago. Belive me – we were the family waiting for the big ol SUMMER BOOK….HAHA. So this story -while great – came as no surprise to me. I wish I had those catalogs, but I remember thinking “that’s great” since my kiddos both were “role-model” children in a school district pre-K special needs classroom. We had no one with down syndrome but many other special needs and to this day my kids have more compassion and acceptance for those with special needs based on their individual 2 year experience. Again – I think Toys-r-Us has been inclusive for years.
Thanks so much! We really appreciate you supporting us, and for your feedback. 🙂
Hey Bro,
Congrats on a very successful press junket!! Thanks for all you are doing to raise support and awareness for our kiddos.
You’ve probably seen this already but another one of our buddies owns and operates his own restaurant in New Mexico. Here’s the link.
