Why? Well his fifth child Wilwas born with Down Syndrome – and Alan started a blog so that he could make Wil fly.

As he explains on his website That Dad Blog, he wanted to raise awareness about Down Syndrome – especially given October is Down Syndrome awareness month:

I started posting shortly after we learned that our fifth child, Wil, was born with Down Syndrome. What I thought was going to be a trial has become our biggest blessing. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that Wil Can Fly!

Every single shot of Wil flying is the most adorable thing ever
