2) Look for some cd's of songs where kids are signing them, not the artist who originally recorded the song.
3) If you have a Discovery store (or science related store) near you, see if they have any "hands on" type game/toy. By touching and feeling, exploring with his hands, it may help him "see".
But I'm sure whatever you select will be appreciated because it will come from your heart and there's nothing more special than a gift from the heart You may also want to try to find books in braille for the school he attends. If it's like any other school, gifts/donations of any kind are always welcome and appreciated! Please keep us posted on things if you can - RJ just might be your "angel on earth"!!

Suzi thanks for all these great suggestions, and also to Corrine and Tilly on the suggestion of taking Baby Blessing to visit the class, I think I will ask to see if I can do that. I just finished reading another posting here on abuse to a child, it is just heart breaking and to meet little RJ and see what this child has to endure for the rest of his life, because of being in a abusive home. It is just unbearable to believe that these things are happening. PLEASE, anyone if you happen to know of a child that is in a situation that is not right, and abuse is clearly seen, don't stand by and not speak up let authorities know, RIGHT AWAY, it could save the life of a child or prevent such as what happened to RJ and so very sad to say but to many others.
