Happy Birthday to my dear Charlie! Charlie is my (first) nephew and the first grandchild of my parents. I was in high school when he was born, and I still remember the days of going over after school to help watch him. My sister always kept popcorn for me to pop, and then I would do homework while he napped (in between checking him every few minutes to make sure he was breathing... guess not much has changed there ;)). Charlie is fantastically brilliant and fun. He has regularly filled me in on the workings of the human body, as well as the intricacies of WiiFit and has kept us giggling since day one.

A year and a half ago, Charlie was diagnosed with aspergers. Luckily, he has amazing parents who have worked hard to learn the best ways to help him grow and thrive... and it helps that our whole family seems to have a lot of the aspects related to aspergers.
I wish I was there to celebrate with him today, but I figure a blog post and a phone call will have to do. Happy 8th Birthday, Charlie!!
