FOR TERRY

YOU WERE SENT FROM ABOVE

YOU WERE SENT HERE TO LOVE

YOU ARE MOMMY'S SHINING STAR

NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE

YOUR SMILES LIGHT UP THE DAYS

IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS

EVERY DAY YOU SHINE BRIGHTER

BECAUSE YOU ARE OUR LITTLE FIGHTER

DOING SO MUCH

It has been a long time since my last post, but that is because Terry keeps me real busy, He will be 3 years old in 57 days and it seem like he is making up for "lost time" he is really making some good advances. he is using the gait trainer a lot more now and handling it well. His vocabulary is expanding every day. He is feeding himself more, though he wont hold finger foods in his hands yet, I think it is because he don't like how they feel. BABY FOOD: a thing of the past, he wants what we eat...can you blame him? Have you ever tasted baby food? YUCK!!!! He is learning how to get around in the house in his little blue rocking chair, it is the cutest thing in the world to watch him do. We are so proud of him and all that he is doing. He will be starting school in September, I am not sure how I feel about this at this point. I know it will be good for him, but it is the whole separation thing for me. I know it is only for a few hours 3 to 4 days a week, but I have not been away from him at all since he came home from the NICU. What will I do with the time???? Terry is learning how to ride his tricycle and doing well I might say! He still can not stand up by himself. but he will stand and play at the couch or at his table. The horse back riding is helping him strengthen the muscles he needs to be able to stand independently and I know he will get there one day. He is trying to crawl but gets angry when he can't get his left hand to do what he wants it to do. Terry has done some amazing things since he had his eye surgery in February...I still say that his vision problem is what held him back partly....
