Dad reports:
Tommy held himself together exceptionally today. He had a few unpleasant moments but for the most part was a very pleasant person to be around. He received a surprise party of his relatives and was absolutely beaming with joy.
Tomorrow we take him horseback riding and he will get to tell us how its done as he is the riding expert.
Dad reports this morning:
Today relatives are in town to help Tommy celebrate his birthday. If the hurricane doesn’t rain us out, tomorrow we will take him horseback riding. There is even a petting zoo for the younger ones. Today we will have cake, ice cream and presents.
Currently Tommy sleeps.
