This is one of my favorite pictures as it makes me think, what was he trying to tell us? Did he find a new toy? Or was he wanting a turn to take pictures with my camera? Funny to think about what goes on inside these kids heads!
After a little laugh, I looked at this picture again with deep emotion. Cole, a 2 ½ year old boy, who has a nerve palsy of his right arm, has transformed in front of our eyes. For a long time, he would prefer to be by himself and not interact with others. He would actually cry to stay in his room instead of coming out into the playroom! He would ignore his right arm as if it was not his own and he was not able to stand or walk. Crying was his only way of communicating. In only the few months he has been with us in therapy, Cole has flourished. He has learned to walk, use his right arm, and talk in short sentences. Now, we know him as the strong and outgoing child he is! He has taught us the beauty and determination of life.
