When Teddy was born and AJ first met him, AJ's first comment was, "Uh-oh!" He couldn't have been more right in his prediction about Teddy, but Teddy couldn't have been blessed with a better big brother than AJ.
AJ has always been a helper, even when he was 2 years old and Teddy was a newborn. I'll be honest, his helping skills have greatly improved through the years from the time he "helped" by pulling Teddy off the chair onto the floor because Teddy woke up from his nap ... at 4 months old. Well, that explained the thud I heard.
Now AJ helps by taking Teddy for ranger rides at the land, watching him for short periods while I'm otherwise busy in the house and playing with him as brothers do. He continues to talk about how he'll take Teddy on ice cream runs when he gets his driver license.

| AJ is a super big brother! |
This kid endures (yes, that's the right word) more than most do. Although most siblings bicker and fight, Teddy constantly gets into AJ's business, occasionally breaks his things and physically pushes, shoves and sits on AJ when he gets in his moods. Yet that doesn't change AJ's love of his brother - or his desire to raise awareness of PIGN-CDG - or his desire to fundraise to explore treatment options.
AJ's a super special kid with a huge heart. Happy birthday dude!
