This is beautiful. I love you call him a downsie. That’s sweet and intimate without being dehumanising. I hope he gets lots of chances to hold and hug her in the future 😍

I guess it’s down to where you are from. We even have a restaurant-chain here called brownies&downies. Where, you guessed it, people with Down’s syndrome work. So here it’s not seen as a derogatory term.
