Our beautiful Lex

I have decided to change this blog up a little because people don't understand what the family goes through living with a person with asperger's. You may know or not but we have a wonderful daughter who is going to be 8 here in a few days. She is a joy and puts up with alot from her little brother. They do go through there normal brother sister fights and they do get along good. She is such a good sister and understands Issac sometimes better than Joe and I do. Lex is very patient with him and tries to teach him it is so cute how she brings us report cards for him. I am learning that I have to have alone time with her and make sure she is handling everything good. For the most part she is but it tore me up when she said "mommy I am tired of getting hit all the time" I really didn't know what to say just that mommy and daddy are trying hard to get people to understand and help us. I completely understand how this can effect a family and why divorce is so high because of these situations. My family is a God loving family and I know for a fact without God in our lives this would have broken us apart but we are lucky and it makes a family stronger everyday gives us more of a desire to stay focused on God. I am great full my mom is there for us and on really hard days takes him and she just knows how to joke and be cool with him. Thanks Mom we love you!!

Our week

Well this week has been one of the better ones in awhile. Today was the first day he got upset and didn't want to go to school. So this meant hitting, kicking, screeching which one day out of the week is good. No the less I had to stop and get a coffee. lol The most frustrating thing right now is helping him understand things have consequences. So daddy got his motorcycle going last night which made Issac's day and daddy went down the street to show it to Grandpa and when I turned around there was Issac riding down the rode on his bike. Thankfully we live in a modular park which is not like being on a street but it does get busy at times and I still have to treat it like a street for Issac. When I got him back home took his bike away he just couldn't understand why. Thankfully all I have to do is focus his attention on anything that has to do with automobiles and he forgets what was wrong. Issac has come along way and is learning alot better just really need to get this comprehension thing figured out. On the fun side he is learning to have pretend play and is pretend talking to daddy's friends on the phone. Which is so funny because he takes everything to heart and if you didn't know it you would really think someone was on the other end. We have a family vacation coming up after school gets out and Joe and I are nervous about it because Issac doesn't really handle being away from home for vary long to well so just keep us in your prayers that all four of us can enjoy it.

Days ahead

Well it has been a long time since I have been on here. We have had alot of ups and downs. For me I am trying to understand my little guy. Its that time to start thinking about kindergarten. He is growing up so fast. When it was time for my daughter to start school there was no question she was ready. With Issac on the other hand he will be six this year and I am still really nervous. I know its not a good thing to keep him in preschool for a third year but why in the world is it so important to make a kindergarden go to school all day everyday. He is a very smart kid just waiting for someone to listen and help me to bring out all that he has stored up there. I think he gets fruastrated with himself to because he wants to tell us stuff and cant always express how he feels. So if you read this just pray for our family to have strength and understanding most all God's peace. Have a wonderful and blessed day!!
