At first, Danette was confused when her grandson came up to her and said, “Ganny, neighbor help.” But after she went next door to see why he was so excited, she soon realized her little grandson had become a hero.
When we think of 3-year-olds, mischief comes to mind.

We’ve all heard of the terrible twos, but parents know the rollercoaster doesn’t end once they turn three. These tots are as hyperactive and as rambunctious as ever. Cut as these little ones may be, they can sometimes drive parents to their wit’s end!
However, this 3-year-old little boy from Virginia proved that even youngsters could become real-life superheroes.
In 2017, Jaxon Lopez was like any other child his age. He was super curious, active, and loved his Paw Patrol. But, this hyperactive child did something that’s earned him a lot of praise from his community and one incredibly grateful neighbor.
Jaxon the Superhero.

Kelsea Spouse drove to the city of Hayes to pick up her son Jaxon from his grandmother’s house. She was loading a basket of clothes into her car when he had gone outside with her. It was cold out, and Kelsea usually told Jaxon to go back inside and grab his jacket. However, that morning she didn’t do that.
Instead, she let him be, and off Jaxon ran like the wind.

Kelsea was wearing her unplugged headphones when she heard her son yelling, “help, help.” At first, the mom brushed it off, thinking it was something Jaxon was repeating after he’d heard it. But then she saw the little boy take off toward a neighbor’s home.
Kelsea was soon running to where Jaxon was and asked him what was wrong.

And lo and behold, she discovered their neighbor lying in the middle of their garage bleeding. Kelsea called 911 and told her son to tell his grandmother that the neighbor needed help.
The little boy ran to his grandmother’s house and pounded his little fist on the door, yelling, “Ganny, neighbor help.”

At first, his words seemed like gibberish to Danette Lopez, who looked at her grandson with a puzzled expression. Then Jaxon grabbed her wrist and pulled her out the door. Still, she didn’t quite understand and thought maybe he wished to play.
“Ganny, neighbor’s in trouble,” he told his grandmother.

That’s when she saw her neighbor, who she knew had been sick earlier that week. That day, the neighbor said she was trying to get downstairs to call for help but fell in her kitchen, where she hit her head. She managed to make it down to their garage before yelling for help.
Jaxon heard the call and didn’t hesitate.

Little Jaxon heard his neighbor’s cries like his favorite heroes and leaped into action. Eventually, the woman was taken to the hospital, where she managed to recover shortly after. However, the situation could have been much more difficult had it not been for Jaxon’s quick thinking. It’s hard to say what could have happened.
Jaxon’s courageous actions and instinct to help others will see that he becomes a great leader one day.
