  1. I love it! Thank you so much or sharing this with us. I love his definition of success. One question though, how often does he get his pinky toe bitten if that's the first thing that he thinks of that makes him mad? He is so precious!

  3. The pinky toe thing happened at school last year I guess. He says when he was changing his slippers one of his classmates bit his toe! Although his brother has bitten him a few times as well, but not on the toe!
