What do Charlie and Milo of Boise, Idaho, and Ollie and Cameron of Dundee, Scotland, have in common? The two sets of twins boys have\u00a0Down syndrome<\/a>, and… they’re all social media stars!<\/p>\n

Charlie and Milo, nicknamed Chuckles and Meatloaf in infancy, are three-year-old fraternal twins. Ollie and Cameron are 6 year old identical twins. Charlie and Milo have their own Facebook<\/a> and Instagram<\/a> followers, and were featured by the TODAY show<\/a> in March of 2019. Ollie and Cameron are on Facebook<\/a> and Twitter<\/a> and were highlighted by ellenNation<\/a> in 2015.<\/p>\n

One of my biggest fears for my boys relates to how the world will treat them. Right now they are young, cute and they charm their way into the hearts of everyone they meet. . But what happens when they get older and lose some of that little boy cuteness? What happens when they are in school and other kids don\u2019t choose to be kind and even decide to exclude or ridicule them? What happens when they are grown and others around don\u2019t bother to make space for them? What happens when they experience discrimination or just plain meanness? . That\u2019s a big part of why I\u2019m here now sharing our life. I hope to open the eyes of those who see these posts. Please see my boys and their potential, their unique personalities and what they have to offer the world. Please continue to see that as they grow. Please take the time to educate those around you as well – your friends, family, co-workers, and your children. Please do what you can to raise children to be kind, to appreciate differences and to include everyone. . To see some other moms and how they handle their greatest fears about their child\u2019s disability and also how you can make a difference, follow #raisinglittleworldchangersweek9 . #twinswithdownsyndrome #downsyndromeawareness #downsyndromerocks #t21 #theluckyfew<\/a><\/p>\n
