5th Birthday

Today was AJ's 5th birthday. We did our best to make it a very special day. He got a big boy bike, so now we have to teach him how to ride it. His grandma (dh's mother) came up to visit from South Carolina, so he is basking in lots of attention.


He also gave me a gift. AJ has been pointing at my photos around the house and saying "see" for a few weeks. Finally yesterday he pointed to a photo of me and said "bobby" (mommy). I was almost reduced to TEARS. He still hasn't called me mommy, but I know it's only a matter of time. He says "daddy" very clearly, but he still has not called my dh "daddy". It'll come soon I'm sure.

Potty training is going well, so we are still moving in a positive direction. School starts next week, and I can't wait until we start seeing all the progress from the extra speech and OT sessions.

Here is a photo of my now 5yr old son!!
