Last Thursday, our boy Will was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Explains a lot but doesn’t change a thing.
He’s extra clumsy, walks on his toes, and can’t squat, but he’s perfect. Spend a few minutes with him and you’re guaranteed to smile.
Can’t wait to see where this kid goes!
I'm here as Sultan of Storage, but my most important title is Rad Dad.
I woke up this morning wanting to tell a story about my boy, Will, cuz I'm really REALLY proud of him.
Dubs is now a thriving 3 yr-old but he had a rough start.
⬇️
4 years ago, my boy Will started life weighing just over 2 lbs and beat spinal infection twice.
Today, he struggles with gross motor skills but adapts.
Also today, 6 wks after putting on skis for 1st time, he made it top to bottom without help.
I cried!

Turns out he was born to be a skier! Ski boots force his heels down working against the CP caused spasticity in his calves/achilles. Just put that together!
@SultanofStorage
He’s beautiful and wonderfully made. May his “disability” become a strength, a display of courage and a light to those who cross his path. I see a picture of joy that will be his magnet
I am praying for you, your wife and beautiful family. The best of days are ahead

<3 That kid out dresses me easy. What a cute dude.
Thank you for sharing his story and showing the love ya'll have for him. This world needs the real stories and the love.
@SultanofStorage
Baird, he seems like a wildly happy kid. One thing I learned from having a son with some "disabilities" is to evaluate him on his terms rather than my story about who he is. They'll forge paths we could never imagine.
