.:FIRST DAY OF PRESCHOOL:.

Jackson had his first day of preschool on Monday which is was his birthday, but I think that was the best birthday present for him cause he was so excited. It was so cute to see how happy he was getting ready to go to his first day of school on his birthday---he also thought that it snowed just for him on his birthday too---Anyways he loves school and loves his teachers. I can't believe that my little boy is all grown up. He looked so big as he was walking into the door, I think that I might of had a couple of tears in my eyes. I am just so happy to be able to watch Jackson be such a big boy like other kids and I love to see the joy on his face when he feels like he is big. Jackson gets to go to preschool every Mon, Wed, and Thur, and he gets speech, ocupational, and physical theraphy there every week and we still go down to Shriners every other week. I am seeing some progress with him still, but I think that we are still going to have to be patient and just let him do things on his own time:)

He loved walking in the snow for the first time

He has his very own cubby for his coat and back pack

There is one of his friends

Shaun - Jillian said...: Katie - I completely forgot that you made your blog private so my blog hasn't been updating your last post date so I haven't been looking at it thinking you just hadn't updated for a while. I love all of the pictures of Jackson and Happy Birthday to him too! What an amazing gift/blessing to have his bike. He looks so happy and I am sure he feels so independent when he rides it. I love his little suit. He looks so handsome. I will have to call you after the holidays are over and plan our little lunch!; December 16, 2008 at 9:43 PM

"A Quiet Testimony"

You could look at this little boy and think nothing is wrong
Those that know him, know he's struggled all along.
Appointment after appointment, doctor after doctor
Built up with frustration, but sitting with no answer.
Not knowing where to start or what to do
Quietly the little boy grew and grew.
His parents each holding a hand along the way
He's not going anywhere-He is here to stay.
In his eyes, determination-In his heart is faith
He pushed the bar and slowly it was raised.
Always smiling, and happy as can be
Such a small boy, not yet three.
He's stronger than most, but not where expected
His so called battle his mind has rejected.
He's doing his best, and through that succeeding
While those that love him are fervently pleading.
Throughout his life, he'll go so far
From the beginning he let to raise the bar.
With that attitude of-"Come what may" He's my little angel, Jackson Ray.

.:Our Blessing:.

Jackson has just recently been diagnosed with Ataxia. He is doing so well and loves walking with his walker. Jackson still has physical, occupational, and speech therapy once a week. Jackson loves his therapists and does such a great job for them.
Jackson has taught Barry and I a lot about loving and patients. He loves so much and is such a happy boy(most of the time). We love Jackson so much and are so proud of him. Even though his life is a little harder for him you could never be able to tell, just for the fact that he doesn't let it slow him down. And that is a lesson that he can teach all of us. What an awesome kid!!!!!!
