Yes, I know, I haven't posted in a very long time. Too long, and I apologize. Just, sometimes, life gets away from you and you don't do the things you enjoy. And while I do enjoy blogging, I am never sure what to blog so I don't blog anything. I figure no one will enjoy what I have to say and even though, I try to be interesting and funny, sometimes I feel I fall short of my goal...to entertain.
I do have one subject that I feel I can write on and do it with ease and that is Lj (Joseph Michael Lecza) Lj is short for Little Joe, just in case you didn't figure it out. After all, we don't call Big Joe, Bj, for obvious reasons. Anyway, Lj is 2 years old. I know, I can't believe it myself... 2... I have no idea where the time went, none of do. He, of course, is perfect, in my eyes. He is now running around, playing with cars and trucks and anything with wheels. He knows how to work an iPhone and a laptop better than I do, but then, that isn't saying much. The only thing he doesn't do is talk. Am I worried...NO!!! He will talk when he is good and ready to talk. Joey talked late and when he did, he didn't stop. Lj is going to do the very same thing. Some people are worried... he should be talking, they say. Leave him alone, I say. He is fine. He is a boy and boys are on a different schedule from everyone else. If he is 5 and still doesn't talk, then we worry. What he does do is communicate without talking, he talks with his mouth closed. Yup, you heard me right. Any he gets his needs across to whom ever is there and listening.
Oh, another thing he likes...besides cars and trucks.. music. He strums a guitar and sings with it. We have videos, thanks to Kk, his other grandmother. He finds the music on the iPhones and listens to it. I say it is wonderful...I hope he continues with the guitar, believe it or not, it sounds good and I swear he is humming Jingle Bells.
I love watching him and learning what makes him tick. He likes tools. I would not put a screw driver near him in a few years...he will take anything apart. He likes reading books. I have recorded a few of those recordable books for him. This year is was 'T'was The Night Before Christmas'. The first book I did for him was about how much I loved him and I did it because it was about a month old when they moved to Georgia and they wouldn't be back until he was 5 months old and I wanted him to know my voice. Well it worked. When they came home in July and I spoke to him, he smiled. Made my heart melt. I would recommend this to anyone who's grandchild is far away. Sometimes when he would cry and no one could calm him down, Joey and Christina would open that book for him and he would calm down right away. I LOVE IT!!!
I can't believe he is 2 already but I am looking forward to this next year with him and watching him grow. I never knew I could love someone as much as I love this child.
Thank you, Lj, for coming into my life.
