this destroyed me in the best way 😭😭 #disneymagic #disneyworld #wholesome #disneyhugrule #disneyhug #rapunzel #mybrother #downsyndrome #toddlersoftiktok #pure #sweetness

the way he said both things with such confidence 😐 also, i’m not pregnant; this is an old clip I found #mybrother #genderreveal #downsyndrome #funny #relatable #Siblings #unclelove #brothers #fyp

all of a sudden, Matt was working diligently in the kitchen. he was preparing way more food than he needed for his own lunch… once he pulled out some extra plates, I realized what he was doing. he cut up the pizza into bite sized pieces for his niece and nephew, and gave them each a spread of food that matched his. all completely unprompted 🥹 he was so proud of his work, I was so encouraged by his independence, and the kids were so spoiled by their lunch. #downsyndrome #theluckyfew #nothingdownaboutit #wholesome #thoughtful #upsyndrome #uplifting #t21 #inclusion #independence #kindness #downsyndromelove #disability #morealikethandifferent #purelove #thinkingofothers #mybrother #bestuncle #caregiver #caregiving #papajohns @Papa Johns

once i realized where he was going 😭 my brother KNOWS this feeling and empathized so perfectly #downsyndrome #wholesomeplottwist #wholesome #upsyndrome #empathy #empath #emotional #caringforkids #overstimulated #parenting #caregiving #parentingtips #bestuncle

he knew it was only going to make her more scared, so he held back on his own fun to help her feel safe. empathy abounds 🥺 #kindness #fyp #downsyndrome #bestuncle #caregiver #empathy #thoughtful #wholesome #disneyparks @Disney Parks

the way he was really hoping her “no” meant she didn’t want him to go…and the way he was right 🥹 any parent or caregiver knows that it can be a SPORT to try and leave your child’s room at bedtime, and for my brother to be the chosen recipient of the “don’t go bait” bedtime routine felt like a rite of passage he had earned. typically my brother isn’t the one who is asked to stay longer. all too often, people tend to sigh in relief when he leaves. or choose not to invite or include him in the first place. this isn’t a judgment necessarily, as my brother can present behaviors that can make some situations more challenging or tiresome for the others involved. so when he IS chosen, he notices. and despite his less than eager efforts to try and say goodnight to his niece, she wasn’t having it. and you can see how much that meant to him. 🥲 #downsyndrome #nothingdownaboutit #wholesome #theluckyfew #purelove #youmatter #mybrother #bestuncle #unclelove #parenting #caregiving #sweetmoments #emotional #chosen #fyp #lifeisbetterwithyou #t21 #inclusion #raisingkids #downsyndromelove #upsyndrome

he switched up his methods of holding her throughout the day, but he was never not carrying her in some form or fashion 😭 #disneyparks #magical #downsyndrome #nothingdownaboutit #wholesome #holdme #toddlersoftiktok #purelove #disneymagic #unclelove #caregiving #parenting #mybrother #downsyndromeawareness

who was more smitten? 🤷🏼‍♀️😍 your guess is as good as mine #downsyndrome #rapunzel #disney #disneymagic #wholesome #smolder #flynnrider #downsyndromerocks #inlove #purejoy @Disney Parks

2 years later and he still carries her just the same 🥲 #wholesome #purelove #downsyndrome #nothingdownaboutit #disneyparks #bestuncle #caregiving #fyp #empathy #growinguptogether #heartwarming #comfort

it’s the fact that somehow nothing changes and everything changes… and I wouldn’t change a thing 🤍 #Siblings #changes #downsyndrome #theluckyfew #nothingdownaboutit #wholesome #growingup #childhood #siblinglove #siblingcheck #mybrother #brothersister

Replying to @drawing_server127 his affections have changed, and now she is only (spoiled) rotten 🥲 #downsyndrome #wholesome #bestuncle #theluckyfew #sweetness #purelove #nothingdownaboutit #parenting #caregiving #unclelove #rotten #fyp #spoiled #babygirl

the way he can offer such calm in the chaos is a gift that my brother brings with him ✨🥹 #wholesometiktok #downsyndrome #purelove #unclelove #caregiving #downsyndromeawareness #mybrother #disneyparks #magical #wholesomeplottwist #wholesomemoments #caringforkids #empathy #gentleness #selflessness
