An Amazing, Touching Story (Tears)

It might be that I have a personal connection to this story after spending time with my autistic cousin, but it sure prevents me from having dry eyes. Check it out in The Friend June 2009.

"My Brother is My Best Friend. By: Boston, Age 8

My big brother has autism. It is hard for him to talk and make friends, but he is my very best friend. I take care of him when we ride the bus to school, and I make sure he doesn't get lost when we are away from home. I help him find his class in primary and pray for him every night. (Teary.) I have faith that one day he will be able to tell me what he has been thinking all this time. He will smile and tell me that I am his best friend too. I am so lucky to be his brother. I love him."

Crying yet? :)

A Thank You and an Explanation

So, I see that some of you saw my five-word "Bob" post, and here's the story so you know that I haven't gone crazy.

On my dad's old laptop, it only shows blog posts from May 1st and earlier. We were trying to figure it out, so I did a test post to see if it would come up, (which it didn't.) Now, today I'm on Mo's desktop, and I now realize that at least 3 of you have seen it and are concerned about my well-being. Sorry! It was the first thing that came to my mind.
Well, since I'm typing anway, let me continue by saying THANK YOU!!

I got six comments!!! SIX!!! SIX!!! SIX!!! SIX!!! THAT'S MY BIGGEST NUMBER EVER, AND USUALLY I HAVE TO REPLY-COMMENT TO GET THAT SIZE OF A NUMBER!! WOOHOO!!!

So thank you for being awesome and commenting

:D

hi my name is bob.

Checking Back In.

Well, not much has been going on lately. Two things are eating away on my mind, though. To avoid having the fourth month in a row with little blogging, I decided to post and just see how it goes.

First is Football. We had an amazing 6 win-2 loss season. It helped that we had several great defensive players, (and yes, I still think you were the best this season, Keith) a star quarterback. And is it wrong to admit that yours truly only had one center-related fumble this year? (I have proper bragging rights, me and dad counted at least 9 center-related fumbles from opposing teams.) Anyway, we ended up doing really well. So now I'll explain my little dillema. I was planning on coming back and doing FF with two friends next fall. But after the game, I found out that my coach coaches at a Juan Diego league, and said that he would (or any coach would) like to have me as a center or lineman. So, I'm really unsure what to do. But that isn't the only thing on my mind.

Second is SUMMER VACATION!! I am almost done with school, and am counting down the days left of school, (I think its 15.) I can't wait for the lazy, warm days of summer to come. Hurry up, time! Yesterday we planted a garden, so weeding will be a big job this summer. Anybody have a couple of spare hours to help us weed daily?? (just kidding :)

So, ya, that's about it.

I'll post tommorow, if I have time.

WOOHOO!

Big Kudos to Princess!! She got an award of Merit at the Multi-School Level at the Art Express Program!

Sweet Victory, Cubed

Woohoo! Me and my team have won three Flag Football games! We have a great quarterback, a great defensive system, and the best of them all, the Center, yours truly. Not to brag or anything... Anyway,I am just really excited and hope that we can continue our winning streak!!!!

Wait! Wait, Wait,Wait, 6 Months!!?

Let's just say he's not so teeny-tiny anymore!! He's in the 85th percentile for height, for goodness sakes. Willwam, (this new nickname is appropriate, since he's a bit to little to be called Babooshka anymore!!) has just had his 6 month appointment!! I know, I know there's now way you can be as shocked as I am, but- 6 months!!? Compared to the other 6 month year olds, he is a tall baby with a skinny lil' body and a small head. 6 months!!? He is an incredibly well-behaved baby, who is always smiling, and loves to be around family, especially Mo and Yours Truly. Often times on school mornings when I wake up and see he is awake as well, I walk over to his favorite chair. If seeing him squirm and smile to a simple, "Hi, Buddy," doesn't put you in a good mood, you may need to see a doctor, because you may be suffering from a rare but serious case of Cold Heart Disease. I'm often afraid he'll fall out of his chair!! He has had some interesting adventures with his squirming such as finding him face-down, off the place where we set him,etc., etc. He loves to play with things such as his saucer and hang toy. And boy does he love to be held!! Most of all,he loves to be loved, and is always ready for a snuggle. And now, after his 6 month shots, he is more snuggly than ever. Willwam, I love you so much, and now I finally understand why the world is full of phrases like, "They grow up so fast."
