Remy's Bio                                  (Return Home)

Born in early 2003, Remy was healthy and full of life. He learned how to communicate to his parents by way of baby sign language even though he could hear just fine. John & Ashley once read that sign language allows the child to express themselves before language skills are developed. At 18 months old, Remy knew how to sign 34 different words.

When Cooper was born, Remy was the best big brother a little boy could have. Remy worried so much about Cooper's well-being and when Cooper finally came home, Remy made sure that he took very good care of his little brother.

Remy is very active and at 6 years old has completed two 5K races. The Super Cooper Heart Run - Houma 2009 was his first race which he completed in 41:39 and a month later he completed his second 5K race in 40:45. Remy took first place in his age group for both races. He is also on the local swim team (Bayou Black Tarpons) and is a lead swimmer within his age category.

In August of 2009 Remy completed his first ever triathlon at LSU campus. The Rocket Kidz Triathlon consisted of a 50 meter swim, 1 ½ mile bike ride and ½ mile run. He finished 3rd in his age/gender category (6 yr old).
