Yep, I am constantly amazing my posse now with what I am learning on a daily basis. New words (just call me Captain Echo because I will try and repeat everything you say), new skills, and above all else, new ways to view the world. What you "normal" folks need to understand is that us "special kids", "differently-abled kids" or whatever you want to call us, have abilities and thoughts that are often TOTALLY DIFFERENT than yours. We may see a situation in a whole new way than you do which makes sense to us and works with our abilities. Here are some examples:
FINGER ISOLATION TECHNIQUES
For months now I have been learning to separate my fingers and use them individually and to grasp things normally. See! Look what I can do now! Here is Mom's comment:
"Want to be excited he is isolating and using his pointer finger but that's nnnootttt exactly what I had in mind. Yucky yucky"
Ha! Picky, picky is what I say!

DON'T CRY OVER SPILT MILK
See? No problem! I saw a situation. I assessed it. I made a thoughtful determination of a solution and then applied it. My brain is connecting the dots and maybe it's not the same answer you would have had, but it was my answer!

RUNNING IN THE HOUSE IS A BAD IDEA
Duh. Sigh. I know, I know. Mom said, "I told you so!" After she freaked out on the way to the ER. Did you know that they actually GLUE kids back together now?
Depth perception may continue to be an issue for me. Was this a result of me being stubborn and not wearing glasses? Or am I just becoming a little boy and this stuff happens to the best of us? There was a time seeing me run made everyone happy..sheesh, make up your minds!
Another valuable lesson from this experience: nobody will mess with you if you show up like this for the first day of pre-school.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE THE DRIVER TO GET THE GIRL !
Actually, this is one of my best buddies, Paizlee. I have the coolest friends! My point is, I may not do things exactly like my brother does, but I DO love my friends and I have a special way of connecting with people which makes me really, really happy and I hope to make them happy, too. What I cannot always say with words, I say with my eyes, my face, my body and my heart. Sometimes I see someone that I love and I just SHAKE with joy! Can you feel me, man?

PANTS ON THE GROUND
Hey, just curious. do any of you guys ever have weight fluctuation? For some reason my pants got bigger! Mom went on You-Tube to learn how to sew and take them in because the clothespin thing didn't cut it. I'm almost 3 years old and still wearing a size 2 or below. Just a little squirt I guess. I was wondering about other kids with deletions. Have you had ups and downs with your weight? I eat a lot, perhaps this is just how I get taller and thinner and then I will fill out. The doctors don't seem too concerned and Mom makes sure I eat REALLY good food. She's a great cook, that woman!
