The little boy, so innocent and full of life. He will be two years old on January 18, 2012. I have to admit that I’m quite impressed with his abilities so far and the fact that he has learned sign language. We, as humans, are so quick to judge others that aren’t like us. The fact of being “normal” in their eyes has been debated on epic levels. It has become so bothersome to others that they have brought it into political discussions, church sermons, and scientific philosophies. I haven’t always had my eyes open to it and when I was much younger, I thought of it as something funny. Here I am years later writing about how wrong I was; I’ve learned more about this in the last two years than throughout my entire life. I would move heaven and earth to help this toddler, not because of who or what he is, but because he is amazing and worth protecting. My children speak of him on a daily basis, consistently asking, “When am I going to see him again?” or  “Should we buy this for him?” It’s amazing that at so young an age someone could create such an impact on my family and me. There will be many cynics in his life and from the day he was born to many hospital visits to now, he has proven them all wrong.
