It is hard to believe that 4 years ago RJ came to be a part of this family. It just seems that he has always been here amongst all the chaos. This year has been a big year for him. He started sunbeams and it took us until August to get him to go to class all by himself. He also started school in August, at Head start in LaVerkin. It took him a good month to adjust and think that school was a good thing. But he has great teachers and they have been very patient with him trying to make this big step. In November he started one more pre-school at the Intermediate school right close to our house. He attends there 3 day's a week for a couple hours a day. This school has been great for his cognitive delay as well as his speech. He has grown up so much in the last few months.
He is great to play all alone with a few cars and his imagination. (If his brothers would leave him alone for more than a few minutes.) He loves his animals. Sassy and French Fry (the cats) are his favorite little cuddle toy's. We got him a bird for Christmas which he was so excited about. He named it Chewy! Unfortunately, Sassy thought Chewy, looked . . . CHEWY. So the bird is no more. I don't know how soon we will try another bird.There truly is never a dull moment with RJ around. We are so lucky to have this sweet boy as a member of our family.
Happy Birthday RJ

Happy birthday RJ. Sorry to hear about your bird. I have a cat that you could add to your cat collection. She is fixed and is very fun to hold and lay on. She won't even scratch. She even has a great name. RASCAL... Just let me know if you would like her. Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday RJ! You are a sweet little boy and we love being your neighbor:)
is the bird real? Is the cat real? I am a little confused there.
I hope that RJ will be ready for another change of teachers since he won't be a sunbeam after Sunday. He is darling! I am so sorry the cat thought the bird would be a good treat. I hope you didn't spend much on it. I hope no one was traumatized!
I still remember going to see little RJ in the hospital and you hadn't really decided on a name. He was all bruised up and you were going to call him bruiser (I'm sure you could have spelled it differently--but I know you weren't serious about the name). I'm glad Porter has a best friend to pal around with.
alright...so RJ is older...we know. What about the latest b-day boy! I wanna see picts of Tanner :)
