I am a firm believer that you can teach empathy at any age. My 1 1/2 year old (Hunt’s brother) is proof. Yesterday we were out in the community with the kids. A little girl caught our eye as she was staring at Hunter while walking by. Seeing this, her mom instantly snapped “Stop, don’t stare at him!” and rushed her along.

Reflecting on this encounter, I cannot stress the importance of teachable moments, especially for littles. Yesterday was a missed opportunity to embrace a child’s curiosity and explain that it’s okay to be different.

This truly struck a cord for me both personally and professionally. I say LET THEM STARE!
Let them be curious and ask questions. We are for all of them. I’m sorry if the conversation may be a touch uncomfortable but you know what’s worse is showing your child with your response that children with additional needs like Hunter are less. FAR FROM IT! Next time please have that courageous conversation. Like we tell Hunter, we, too can do hard things.”

“Embracing diversity is about recognizing its strength, celebrating uniqueness, and creating a culture of inclusion.”

Getting Hunt ready and I noticed this gem. His poor foot is still healing from the pressure sores caused by his casting. Thankfully he’s down to one but shew it looks a tad gnarly.

He’s still stander only. We are signed up for another PT intensive with Bloom Physical Therapy and Wellness LLC for the month of January! Hoping to get our sweet boy back on track and back to where he was pre-casting. We’ve lost some ground but we know our boy will bounce back like he’s always done 💙🦈💙

There are no off days for this little guy 🥹

Roadtrip to Annapolis was in the cards today. He was measured for a new custom DMO bodysuit and ADM braces for his feet at night.

Then afternoon PT at Bloom Physical Therapy and Wellness LLC.

Such a trooper 💙

Mean muggin Monday 😆

Ever wonder how littles get fitted for their cranial helmets? 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

This was Hunter getting fitted for his when he was just a wee little chunk. Those colored dots somehow sync to an app and render a 3d image of the head. Technology can be so cool but as you can tell it was getting old for Hunt REAL quick. We were quite impressed how well he tolerated it since he does not like his head touched.

Have a great Monday everyone 💙🦈💙

Ohhhhhh myyyyyyy St. Nick!!!!Look at our sweet boy 😍😍😍I think it’s safe to say he made the nice list again this year!

He may have lost at the cast game BUT his shoe game is on point thanks to the Botox working!

AFO’s are still only for PT and when he’s in his stander so he gets to be pretty fly for a little guy in the meantime!

These Nike Jordan’s have the adaptive laces so that all we have to do is velcro them over! Our next goal is to find some Nikes that fit his AFO braces!

To the medical mama’s wearing all the hats, I see you.

We wear so many hats and are expected to keep calm and carry on all the while juggling all the things to keep our heads above water. Some days we got it and are on point while other days we are holding on by a thread and feel like the meme of a panicking kermit the frog (one of my faves, btw.).

Snapped this as we left therapy last night at 6:15 pm almost an hour away from home. We were spent. He rocked his OT re-eval after having spent the day up north with daddy getting his new AFO’s…2 and a half hours away. So when he cried all the way to aunt Kourt’s house his feelings were valid.

Someone so little having to take on so much for something grown adults caused is just unfair.

I thank God everyday that somehow, someway He allows both Hunt’s daddy and I to keep going.

This little boy is worth it 💙🦈💙

In a perfect world, all children would have safe, loving families. However, the reality of it is, there are tons of children still in need of forever homes through out the United States.

November is National Adoption Awareness Month. Opening our hearts and home was one of the best, most rewarding things we could have ever done. We love sharing our experiences in hopes that others may want to do the same.

The happy little girl on the left was adopted 40 years ago. I can only hope that I am making her proud with all that I am doing today💜
