My dear little RJ

I'm posting this a little late (4 days in fact) but I'm just catching up with myself! I can't possibly not mention my nephew's 1st birthday which was on 2nd November. Ronnie James is my brother's youngest and is such a cute good natured little boy. Here's a current pic of him. He didn't know what the heck was going on of course, but he received loads of nice prezzies, most of which I ended up playing with!

He's had a bit of a rough time, bless him - he was born with two of his

fingers joined together and it wasn't until a few months ago that he was operated on. They had to obviously cut the skin between the fingers and take a graft from the bottom of his foot to replace the skin that was then missing. Check out the size of the bandage on his hand in the other pic! Apparently it was even bigger than that at one stage! Doctors were also worried about his eye - there is a very slight turn in the left one and they were talking about the possibility of an op on that too but that has now gone by the by. It may well correct itself in time and I don't believe you should put a toddler through such a procedure, especially when it's not majorly concerning.
