Keegan's Corner: Happy 7th Birthday!!

 Somehow Keegan has gone from this:


To this:

all in the blink of any eye.    My little boy turns SEVEN today.  

Keegan is in first grade.  He loves to read and reads large paperback books that are way advanced for his age. 

We still struggle with his feeding issues but have come SO FAR.  He's eating a lot more foods and tries new foods more quickly.   It's a long journey but I can see progress.   To outsiders, he just looks like a really picky eater.  For me, I know it's a real battle inside his mouth and mind.  He also still has other  symptoms dealing with sensory processing issues like not wanting water on his face and sensitivity to bright light.

He likes to sing.  He's creative.  He is 'engineer-minded'.   He is amazing at doing puzzles.  He thinks outside the box.   He likes to come up with new ways of doing things.  He's fun, funny, and sweet.  He likes teaching his sisters and often tells me he'd like to be a teacher when he grows up.  He's good at drawing.  
And, best of all.... he has the power to melt my heart with his big, brown eyes and long eyelashes....

We love you, Keegan!  Happy 7th birthday!!!!!!!!
