Fun PJ Facts

PJ is such a precious little boy to us. He amazes me and frustrates me everyday :) I am sure that I frustrate him too. We are in an interesting stage right now. PJ is 17 months old and wants so badly to communicate his every whims to us but does not quite have that ability yet. He babbles non-stop and can say some words, signs about 8 words on a consistent basis and points or tries to show us what he wants. Sometimes we understand and sometimes, our precious little boy dissolves into a heap of crying mess on the floor. *sigh* We are taking this one step at a time.

He's favorite pastime is playing basketball! He is his father's son for sure. Every single day he shots some baskets in his small goal or Dad's big one outside (with help of course). This last week he has decided that he wants mom and dad to take turns too and he will rebound for us. Dad is teaching him to stand back from the small goal and shot the ball instead of dunking it every time. Really, I don't know what we would do without his basketball goal...it is his all time favorite toy.

Today, PJ was drawing on his magnadoodle (looked like scribbles to me) and all of sudden got very animated. He got my attention, pointed to the picture and signed the word "bird". When I asked him if his drawing was a bird, he violently shook his head yes! His very first drawing with a meaning behind it!!! I was so proud. :)

PJ teaches me so much everyday. I always thought that I'd be his teacher but I feel like the student most of the time. I love this little boy so much. Thank you God for trusting me with Pierson James Sawyer.
