Sprint to Catch Up

Okay, apologies to all (or just you three people) who read my blog. Things have been a little crazy around here. We've had several parades come and go through our home seeing if they want to buy. We've had 5 offers now...and only one of them could we agree on a price. But sadly that one fell through (I will never watch Channel 4 news ever again...As long as Karen Carlson is an anchor there. She didn't even give her realtor a reason why she backed out at the last minute)Arrgh!!! So close.

But I've hired a new instructor for Jaden since one has quit and training will now pursue....my bank account. But I think I've hired an awesome replacement (fingers crossed).

But here is a little of what has happened a couple of months ago to somewhat present...


Jaden's preschool class at the school district had a graduation. I loved it. All the kids were so sweet and I loved looking at their parents and seeing how proud they were. You think these kids were getting the Media Of Honor by the Man-of-the-Land, but these humble autistic, down syndrome, and disabled children were graduating from a year or a few months in the school districts special ed preschool. They should have sold tickets it was one of those heart warming experiences that are sadly only reserved for parents and family of a disabled child. No one can understand how ecstatic or excited a parent can get with a small accomplishment (such as the word 'Mama' or saying 'Moo' when asked 'what does a cow say?') of a child with difficult disabilities.


But the whole time Jaden's cute little face was hidden behind his little hands. Only during singing his favorite song Five Little Hot Dogs did he move his hands in order to make the fun hand gestures. Jason and I couldn't be more pleased with what Jaden has accomplished so far.

Jaden is receiving his Excellent award and is trying to hide from all the staring strangers. As you can see he loved his teacher. His teacher always told me she loved Jaden's hello hugs and bye hugs that he always gave freely to her.

Jaden hiding his little peeps from the crowd. He really isn't shy for those of you who don't know Jaden.

Here we are playing at Jason's office. As you can see, there is a lot of open space for the kiddies to run. They loved it.

Jason will probably have to clean his office window. They thought it was fun to press their face up to the glass.
