Perfection

Have you ever met someone so self-effacing, so sweet, so loyal and clever that you wondered how you existed before you knew him?

That happened to us nine years ago today. What an amazing bonus blessing baby he is!

And that he wants an Apple Betty for his cake, is just so ... him.

So Much Progress

A year ago he told us that he never felt anything inside.  "Don't you understand? When people ask me if I'm happy or sad, I don't know because I feel nothing."

One year later, he says that when he's at school it feels like he's smiling inside, but it just doesn't show on the outside very much when someone takes his picture. 

That's why this smile melted his mom's heart.

P.S. He has also learned that if you rarely show emotion on your face, you can often win when playing the 7-Up game at school.  See?  It's all about perspective :)
