you gotta watch this

It's no secret there's a big ole soft spot in my heart

for those with Down Syndrome.

Many thanks to my sweet sister-in-law

for sending this fantastic story my way.

(go ahead, click the link right now; I'll wait. Oh, turn your sound up!)

I love everything about this video,

from the way the opposing team 'tried' to tackle him

and the way Ike's team supported him

to his little victory dance at the end.

He and his family must have felt so loved that night!

Speaking of DS

ya'll are keeping up with Nella, right??

Oh!

She is such a doll!

And doing so well, too!!
