I’ve
tried to write 21 things about Asa in celebration of World Down syndrome Day 3.21.13.
I’ve been thinking of things that really make him who he is but it’s extremely
hard. Unless you know him, you really don’t understand how ordinarily wonderful
he is. How much he is just a cool kid with a big heart, great laugh and sense
of humor. He’s helpful (when he wants to be); a great big brother who offers
guidance and assistance when he thinks his little brother needs it. Sometimes
gently, sometimes a little brash, but 7 times out of 10 it’s with a guiding
hand on Gracyn's back walking up stairs or words of wisdom for whatever “project”
they are working on. And a little brother who absolutely adores him and copies
his every move (just like all little brothers do). Asa is sincere and
empathetic. Empathy is an art of his, you cough he pats your back and puts his
hand to your forehead, you say “OUCH” he is the first there to ask if you’re
okay and offer a healing kiss. I guess what I’m saying is that he is so much
more then words, whether it be 21 things about him or 2 words that only
describe 1 thing that is so minimal to who this little boy really is.
Here is what I came up with:
1)
Asa is the most handsome little boy you’ll ever meet.
2)
He sucks you in with his magical spell.
3)
He skips when he is really happy.
4)
He is responsible for letting his dog Frankie out every
morning.
5)
He loves to play outside.
6)
He drives like a crazy man.
7)
He loves his little brother though he picks on him every
second he gets!
8)
Everyone at his school knows his name – all 325 of them.
9)
He is the best dancer; you should see his break dance
moves!
10)
Out of the blue he will run up to you, give a hug and
say, “I wuv you”.
11)
He loves Hockey and Race Cars.
12)
He thinks Santa is suppose to come every time it snows.
13)
He is named after his Great-Grandfather, Asa Derrick and
his Bumpa, Daniel Henry.
14)
His favorite color is Blue.
15)
His best friend is Daddy.
16)
He does the best Magic Tricks!
17)
His favorite food is ICE CREAM!
18)
His least favorite food is corn.
19)
Favorite pretend play is to build tents, beds and fake
campfires.
20)
In circle time at school his friends fight over who is
going to sit next to him J
21)
He was born with Down syndrome, but that’s only one
thing about him, that isn’t who he is…
