Ask me questions...

AC constantly makes me laugh. A couple weeks ago she came to me and said "Ask me some questions Mama." I started thinking of things to ask..."What's your favorite color?", "Who's your best friend?", "What is your favorite animal?" Within a couple days, she was wanting to ask the questions. Her favorite question to ask when we're out in public is "What's your name?" She has to know everyone's name, from the cashier at the grocery store, to another shopper in a clothing store, to other moms at EK's therapy place. She's quite the social one. Keith and I have talked about how we'll need to teach her to be cautious. She has no fear, unless it's a man! :) She's very shy around men she doesn't know.

Anyway, I thought it'd be fun to interview AC and post it here. AC is 2 years, 9 months.

What is your favorite color? green
What is your favorite game? Elephant game (Elefun)
What is your favorite toy? Fire truck
Who is your best friend? Maggie and Madison
What's your favorite food? Chicken
What is your favorite thing to do with Mommy? Play chase
What is your favorite thing to do with Daddy? Play Hide and Seek
What is your favorite TV show? Mickey Mouse (This surprised me!)
What is your favorite book? Dora
What is your favorite song? Twinkle, twinkle little star

    Love her little interview! She is such a cutie pie. Maggie loves her Aubrey, too. I hope they will always be pals. It will be really fun to see them grow up together! Such a blessing to have daughters. :)

Autism Awareness Day

It's hard to believe this is our 10th Autism Awareness Day. Ironically, I also sat in EK's annual ARD this morning. To be honest, life is so busy right now that I haven't had time to think much about this day approaching. Maybe that's good. When I have too much time to think about how autism has changed our family's life, I sometimes get discouraged. When EK was first diagnosed in February 2009, we thought that if we got her in the right therapies, she'd start Kindergarten in a mainstream classroom. That was our goal and early on, it seemed doable. We changed her diet (which by the way, I don't regret at all. I truly believe it's helped her to be the happy child she is.), we did occupational therapy, speech therapy, ABA therapy, vitamins/supplements, school preschool program for kids with autism and many other things. Fast forward a few years  and we saw no real improvements. In fact, she stopped talking a few months before her 4th birthday. Those begin...

3 days in a row...

EK started back to preschool on Monday morning. After 2 weeks off for Christmas break, I was a little nervous about how sad she'd be when I dropped her off and how long it'd take her to get back in the routine. When I picked her up on Monday, I was SO relieved to hear that she hardly fussed that morning. She was happy all morning long! She participated in music therapy by playing the guitar. She worked on fine motor tasks with her teacher and she colored with a marker! This last thing is a BIG deal. For some reason, the past 6 months or so, she would NOT hold a writing utensil. I'm not sure if it's because I used to tell her constantly to not put it in her mouth or if it became a sensory thing or a control thing. Whatever the reason, she just wouldn't even try to hold a marker, pen, crayon, etc. If you put it in her hand, she'd drop it or throw it. We literally had to firmly hold her hand around the writing utensil to keep it in her hand long enough to scribble ...

3 months ago today...

Most of you who are reading this know what our family is going through right now. It was 3 months ago today that we took EK to a developmental pediatrician. We left there with a diagnosis of autism. Even though we knew it was coming, it was tough to swallow. We've done so much research, reading books, searching on the internet, and talking with those who've been down the same road. There is so much information out there. We're trying to be proactive and do all we can to help her live a normal life and I'm praying like I've never prayed before. She's still our sweet 3 year old daugher, our firstborn. Her diagnosis doesn't change our love for her. I'm not even sure it changes our dreams for her. We know that God is able to completely heal her, but regardless of the outcome, we know that our God has a plan for her that will bring Him glory. I'm so thankful to be the mama to EK and AC. They are such sweet blessings, even on the hard days. :)
