Should I be annoyed?
I was lucky enough to discover a couple of stories about Hayden Filson thanks to her mom who posted on the Born Just Right Facebook page. Hayden plays softball for her state championship high school team and was born with one hand. But in the news coverage about her, the reporters keep writing and saying…

Jordan is prepping for her dance recital next month. The girls in her class got to try on their recital outfits last night. Honestly, the kids scored an awesome dress. Just like last year, Jordan’s outfit has gloves. Her teacher asked if Jordan wanted to wear her helper arm so she’d have gloves on both…

The kids broke out into dance during dinner tonight. Seriously. Some of the funniest stuff I’ve seen in a while.

I love dance recitals. I love how excited Jordan gets. I love how she’s SUCH a girl. She is all about me getting her makeup on and patiently lets me do her hair. It’s the only time I can comb and brush and pull out tangles and she doesn’t complain. I love the shocking difference…
Read More +Why we're going armless at the dance recital
I’ve been really impressed with Jordan’s use of her helper arm at dance class lately. It’s especially useful during the ballet half of her class. But after watching Jordan rehearse for the winter recital… I’m pretty sure we’re going to go arm free. She spent most of the dance repositioning the arm and missing steps.…

Miss Jordan performed in her dance studio’s holiday recital and it was stinking sweet. The funniest part was how she stretched out one of the straps while she was waiting to perform, so she was VERY exposed. But that didn’t stop her from being very cute. Enjoy the video!! If you can’t see it, enjoy…

We finally had a weekend to really kick the holidays in to gear… First, we started the day off with a breakfast gathering where we got to meet up with Santa. One of the local high schools put this even together. It was super cool and the kids even got to write up their Santa…
Read More +Dancing with her helper arm
Jordan is really listening at dance class these days – and I’ve seen her improve her balance with the help of her helper arm. But it’s also a little clunky during certain moves – like when she swings her arms out. She doesn’t really cognitively know if she’s going to bonk someone in the face.…
Read More +Dance class success
Using Jordan’s helper arm at dance was a huge success… You can see in this blurry picture that she’s still reaching a bit to touch “hands” but her balance was so much better when she wore “bouncy hand” to her class. She also had no problem walking across the balance beam with it one. Last…
Read More +A dancing challenge
Jordan loves to dance – and this year she’s taking a dance class that has a couple of performances in the year. It’s certainly a bit more intense from the sweet and calm version she took last year. So her dance teacher and I (who also happens to be a co-worker/friend) are trying to decide…
