Flag Salute

AJ was chosen by his teacher to say the flag salute in front of his whole school today.  His teacher picked him because of many reasons including that he comes to school every day ready to learn with a smile.  This is a huge deal!  He didn't know until this morning - we surprised him!  It ended up being a rainy day so instead of saying it outside, he said it over the telecom of the entire school.  He thought that was very cool.

Baseball Player and First Trophy!

After some resistance, AJ tried baseball last spring.  More than any other sport yet, he took to it immediately.  He had a natural knack for it and connection to it.  He really enjoyed playing the game.  It was a great pleasure to watch him play as well. 

To end out the season, he got his first trophy!  He was awarded Best Player at First Base.  He also had his first real pizza at the celebration party (he is building a tolerance for dairy and he is very excited about it). 

He loves baseball and wants to do it more.  I'm so proud of him. :)
