Maybe that’s one of the reasons he, more so than any of the other boys, TREASURES family and family time. Because he really, really cares.Īnd because he’s realized that story and family and history are luxuries … one that he doesn’t have the privilege of knowing about his own biological family. What’s more, he LISTENS and he REMEMBERS. He interviewed his Uncle Lee, the one who Superhero 4 is named after, for more than an hour about his life and his childhood and his parents, and he genuinely takes interest in the stories and the histories of others.
On a day trip with Grandma and Pop last month, he spent the four-hour car ride asking each of them about the years they were born and their relatives and the years they were born and what they did with their lives. If ever there were a time to use what his big brothers call Superman’s “cute smile” to get what he wants, it would be now. And the affection he constantly lavishes on us (even in kindergarten, he still wants me to hold him and snuggle him every morning when he first wakes up) just melts all our hearts. His new toothless grin and charismatic, contagious smile just SLAY me. (Let’s be honest – “lost” is actually a loose term for “my-brother-pushed-me-in-a-swing-into-a-tree-and-knocked-my-front-two-teeth-loose-so-I-just-pulled-them-out.”) Especially since he lost his front two teeth on the same day. He’s a warrior, this one, and now looks like one, to boot. NOTHING stops this boy from seizing each and every day. And when his little body doesn’t cooperate in the ways he wishes it would, he simply addresses it and moves on. He does it, he makes the most of it and he is SO RESPONSIBLE about it.

He can do almost everything with his hand his other kindergarten peers can do, and he no longer finds it frustrating when he sometimes just has to do it differently.Īnd although his other medical needs have required intensive surgeries and full weeks of NPO and summers dotted by hospitalcations in other states, he has confronted them like a champ and embraced the daily medical care needed to ensure he stays healthy, even though it’s not fun, even though it’s an uncomfortable and inconvenient pain. I can do with FOUR fingers what takes YOU five!” (We’ve since talked to him about how, just because his hand is super, he doesn’t get to brag about it to his friends.) Now in kindergarten, when friends at events or weddings ask, he simply replies, “I was born without a radius, so my doctor had to turn my pointer finger into a thumb so I could have one.”Īfter multiple surgeries, 14 casts and more than two years of occupational therapy, that little conqueror now uses the thumb that used to be his pointer finger like a beast - cutting using scissors at school, holding onto bike handles with an opposable grip for the first time in his life, spraying water bottles and even finally buttoning and unbuttoning his own clothes (though, depending on the size of the buttons, this is still a work in progress).
