Disability related? Not exactly.

But this little guy will grow up not thinking that a PWD is weird or scary. I'll just be Aunty Dawn, and he'll be my booger butt.

My "nephew" Cylis. Photo taken 16 January at almost three months old.

poor guy - that's the "special" name he gets, "Booger butt?" Though I think dave barry said that all babies brains are full of drool which get squeezed out as brains grow - he is rather disturbingly cute - the type which makes you think "this is the one "I" could get" and then you are stuck in an elevator with a screamer who is shattering windows two buildings away and you remember, "Oh yeah, karma: this is one I WILL get."

I am the one who always says that on my best days, I can take kids in two or three hour doses, but this little guy just owns a big piece of my soul. Maybe it's because I was in his mom's home as she gave birth to him, maybe it's that grin you see in the picture, maybe it's both of those and a dozen other reasons.

I do have to agree with you, though -- karma would give me the child that is always getting hit in the head by balls at school and also a general klutz.

HE has grown into the screamer and since he's cute. He thinks he can get away with murder!!!!

Yeah, well, it's our job to keep it real for him (as women must do with many men) -- You ARE cute, sir, but not THAT cute!
