This Little Amazing Boy


Jaxson truly amazes me everyday. When we first accepted his referral I figured I would have to figure out ways of teaching him how to do things with one arm. I was sooooooo wrong. Jaxson can figure out ANYTHING and everything.

Jaxson can carry things half his weight. He can cut with scissors, carry a huge armful of laundry down the stairs. He picks out his own clothes most days and dresses himself. Jaxson has been putting on his own shoes for 6 months now and gets the right foot almost everytime. He can swing on a big swing with one arm like it's no big deal.

There are a million other things that blow me away everyday but the thing that amazes me most is he folds clothes like a proffesional. I have never once shown him how to fold clothes but he just comes and does it while I'm working on it. Jaxson folds clothes way better than I do and everything is folded perfectly even. I wanted to get a picture this morning of it but the camera wasn't close and he would have been gone by the time I got back.

Let me just say that this boy can do what it would take me 3-4 arms to do and he does it with one. Funny how he is considered "special needs".

Hi! Just found out you're a follower of our blog, thanks. =)

You have a lovely family!! This is so neat about Jaxson. I would "love" to have a child like this in our homes someday. I'm sure he/she could teach us a ton!
