Awesomeness

My mini-me has bloomed socially...

Because of his issues with ADHD & ODD, making and especially keeping friends has always been a major roadblock for him. Being someone who was constantly picked on for her weight, wearing glasses, being a bookworm, etc as a youngster, I felt his pain so very deeply. I've always known that he's really a sweet, considerate child and a champion of the underdog deep down inside despite his "disabilities". He has always stuck up for those smaller/younger/different than him, or when someone's being bullied, he's often the first to jump in and help them out...even when it gets him into trouble.

Lately though, he's been making a concerted effort to get himself up and ready to go to school and put the dog out in the morning so he can take part in the Breakfast Club and hang out with his friend Eric, whose Mom often volunteers there.

It's really a beautiful thing to see him coming out of his shell...
