Mark it down as another thing Jordan can do… She can swim in a swim meet. Today she and her brother each swam in the 25 meter freestyle in their age division. Jordan had someone stand near her to make sure she was okay – but she tells me the person who helped her out…
Read More +VIDEO: Play ball!
Jordan is officially a softball player and she loves it. She’s played three games in the last week and a half and is enjoying every moment. She’s working really hard at catching the ball with her glove and then throwing it. Sometimes she moves the glove under her arm to throw, other times she throws…

The fun thing about being different is having fun with it! I was on Twitter yesterday when I discovered Born Just Right friend, Caitlin, mentioning this: I tweeted how it was a perfect reason to use #onehandedproblems on Twitter. Why not have fun about limb differences? We started a list on Twitter. But we should keep…
Read More +Broken is actually good
It’s hard to celebrate a broken helper arm… but having it break is a sign that Jordan is using her arm a lot more at school. Yesterday she was playing on the playground when she fell down and broke her helper. I got a call from the office asking if I knew how to fix…

Well, Jordan has a little arm just like his fin.” These days, that explanation doesn’t always…

I bought Jordan another coat. It isn’t something I planned in our budget… It’s just another one of those things that come up when you have a little arm. I try to plan ahead. I buy things during January for the next year because winter stuff is so much cheaper. Last year I snagged a…

I’m pretty sure we’ll never be able to recreate the amazing that came from 2011. Jordan’s year started at Disney World and ended happily with a post-birthday party high at home. What happened in the middle was amazing. First, this website has grown along with our community on Facebook. It’s really an incredible gift to…
Read More +Best. Birthday. Ever!
Birthdays are awesome. I love them. That’s why I tend to make a big production out of them. Jordan’s been lucky to spend three out of six of her birthdays at Disney World. Each time she’s had a chance to dress up like a princess and celebrate. But until yesterday, she’d never had a traditional…
