Lazy Friday afternoon…. the whole family was in the livingroom… just hanging out. Suddenly Bryan curiously looked at his hands, then his fingers and then he finally realized that he has the will to control every aspect of them — he turned his wrists, bent his fingers one by one, made fists then extended the fingers. He thought, “WOW!”
As Grace and I watched in amazement, I showed Bryan what he could do with his palms — clapping! He was so excited with his new skills that he laughed, giggled and clapped for the next five minutes with Grace and I encouraging him and cheering him on the whole time.
Magic moments like what we experienced this afternoon made the hardship of parenthood worthwhile (a little more).
