By the world's standards, my littlest man is imperfect. Flawed. Not normal. He has a list of abbreviations that describe him. He is ADHD. He is ODD. He is PDD-NOS. Do I see these things? Of course I do. We live with them everyday. But they don't define him.
He is creative. He is sweet. He is loving. He is smart. He is funny. He makes us laugh on a regular basis and his imagination is amazing. Do I wish he didn't have the struggles he does? Of course. I hate to see any of my kids struggle and it would definitely make his life, and ours, easier. But he is perfect just the way he is.
The world sees imperfection. I just see my baby.

Beautiful! This made me cry. You are so right. I am happy that he came to your arms. May he be a blessing all of his life. BTW...he is a beautiful boy.
Aww Amy! His "imperfections" will make him stronger. None of us are perfect and our differences are what make this world so wonderful. He is lucky to have a momma that loves him for him :) Love those lashes :)
Great post Amy!! ...and what a perfect way to capture the theme.
We were told my oldest could possibly have ADD when he was two, but we brushed it off as him just being a toddler. Five years later, we are starting to see it when it involves school. We've done everything natural that we could find...allergies and avoiding certain other foods. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it...any suggestions?
Beautiful post. It's our imperfections that make us unique. And...I believe God uses us through our differences. Maybe not now...but someday.
