Ricky's Birthday

Today is the birthday of my second born. He is officially 11! I remember his birth well. I was watching the noon news from my Baylor hospital bed. After the commercial break, the reporter was going to explain the reason for the plush tonka truck toy recall. I had received this exact toy as a gift. The doctor said I was "ready!" I asked if he could wait till after this particular report. The next thing I remember is Dr. Factor saying something comical, and I laughed a healthy 9# 13 oz baby boy right out.

Ricky is a typical boy. He loves to disassemble and assemble things. I go to him first when I need to assemble anything. He's also, the first to volunteer for any project or help around the house. I think he would be a great engineer. He would have to stay focused on his academics, though. Like many boys, I have to constantly push him to do well. He has the potential, he just lacks the desire. All in all, he's my son and I wouldn't trade him for the world!

Happy 11th Birthday, Ricky! Your Mama loves you!!
