All photos were shot without assistance by our son, Jack, who has Downs syndrome. He’s quite proud of his photo blog. Click on the picture to open it and read Jack’s comments along with the story. Leave him a comment while you’re there. Nothing makes him happier!

“That’s Jack. Taking pictures of me ’cause I take pictures of my friends.”

Every once in a while Jack says something casually, that really makes me stop and think. His comment on this picture was one of those times. Jack likes himself and that is so important for all of us to learn to do. But Jack doesn’t like himself better than his other friends. To Jack, he is just as important and loved as all of his friends, but not more-so. I think I like that attitude.

Jack is just like anyone else. He loves to hear when he is doing well. If his blog brings a smile to your face or a tear to your eye, scroll down and let him know in the comments.
