"Why does everyone know Jordan?"
Cameron asked that question yesterday after the fourth lifeguard at the pool said hi to Jordan. He was feeling kind of left out. So I let him guess what feature of Jordan makes her unforgettable... He had to pause for a moment (and I love that he had to think about it for a bit). Then he realized: "Oh yeah! Her arm!"Yup. Her arm. It's the first thing you may notice but Jordan is obviously not her arm. She is who she is. The arm lets you remember, but her personality helps you never forget.She's having a blast at the pool and even though she's around a lot of new kids who don't know her, she's handling the questions very well. She only hides her arm when really young kids won't stop asking or staring. Most kids at the pool really can move past it once they ask a question.But poor Cam. He's learning it will take a little more to be memorable at the pool. He was unforgettable at school this year - for not always the best reasons. But I'm sure he'll find his way beyond being "Jordan's big brother."
