(This is a picture from last Christmas of RJ leaving Cookies and milk out for Santa)I am way behind and need to blog for Christmas but I didn't want to forget this sweet phone call this morning.
RJ called, he said he missed me and wasn't sure what else to say but then I got him talking about what he's been doing and we talked for 45 minutes. He told me about his new video game, Indiana Jones Legos 2. He got #1 last Christmas. He said he only has one level to beat still but he likes the 2nd game better because they have the "wearhouse" in it. He told me the names of all his new friends at school and at church and that one he knows from both, but he still really misses one friend especially from Idaho. He got a BopIt for Christmas and that toy reminds him of his friend. In school they have an activity that makes reading more fun. It is a 3 word name which I can't quite remember, but one word is Wiggle. They get to dance around when that word is shown, and then they have to stop and read a word. It made me laugh the way he explained it.
He also spent a lot of time telling me the storyline of a number of his favorite books. The Pig that fell out of a book, that was funny, oh and his fave, Ooodles of Noocles. It was cute to hear him get excited about the books. I'm glad he likes them.
I miss him too as I do the others but I talk to RJ so much more. It's fun to be part of their lives. I look forward to doing that more with the younger kids.
