Coming Soon

My sister in law has this thing that she does every week on her blog called wordless Wednesdays. She is the new mother of a darling little boy who I love.

My kids are not so cute, so you will be seeing actual, unretouched photos of the mayhem that is my life.

Since I am too lazy/busy to think up a new name, mine will also be called wordless Wednesdays. Thanks Jax!

Aly Goes to School

Miss Aly bear went to school on the bus today. I took her on Friday for registration and she stayed for about 1 1/2 hours. She was soooo excited to ride on her very own bus. I was pretty excited for her.

So Many Things All In One Post

I could separate these items, but I won't. :)

I'm lazy like that.

1. Aly is officially qualified for special ed. She will start on the 21st of January.
Crazy, yes?? I am now 3 for 3 in the special ed department. I'm glad that I'm getting the proper help for my kids, but I had really, really hoped for one "typical" child in the group. Oh well, what can you do?
All going well, she will attend the same school her brothers did. We love it there. She will be started in a "Moderate Delay" class and then they will determine if she needs to be in a "Severe Delay" class. She is excited to go to school, and especially to ride the ever coveted school bus.

2. Aly's cast is off. The Dr.s appt wasn't until Tuesday the 12, but she busted off the cross bar on the 31st of December. The next morning, the right leg was falling down around her ankle. We cut that off, thinking the rest would be ok, but it was cutting into her upper thigh. We ended up cutting off the cast and popping her out of it. It was surprisingly easy because she lost so much weight. I think she grew too. She no longer has her cute "ghetto bootie." I'm a little sad. She's still not walking, but that was to be expected. We'll have to wait and see what happens.

3. Bryon is potty trained!!! Typically, autistic boys are PT between 6 and 8 years old. Bry is not quite 6 1/2, so I feel pretty on track. We have to keep an eye on him because he is sneaky and does NOT like to poop in the potty. Too bad for him, because he's gonna do it. :)
Last night, Scott forgot to put him in a pull up before bed, and he woke up completely dry!! WAHOOOOOO!!!!!
1 down, 2 to go. I feel so accomplished.

4. We are working on a small remodel in our house. We are moving some walls to make a bedroom for Bryon. Everyone needs their own space or mommy is going to break something. :)

I think that's all. If I think of anything else, you know where to find me.

9 Years

Dear Scott, Thanks for marrying me.

Like Utah, Lizards Are Nice To Visit.

I like to visit Utah. It's a nice place. I so do not want to live there. :)

I feel the same way about lizards. Kind of.

I don't actually think that lizards are all theat great. Apparently, Bryon does not feel the same way. He really, really likes his cousin Kameron's lizard Splish.

Everytime we go to the cousin's house, Bry Bry takes a peek at Splish and taps on her cage. I have had to stop him from opening the lid a few times.

Thankfully, Kameron is about the best 14 year old boy I know and was nice enough to allow Bryon some face time with Splish.

She Broke Her Leg and I've Been Busy

Many of you may already know that Aly Bear broke her leg on December 4th. :)

Apparently she is over being in this cast.

Yesterday she ripped off the cross bar and today she has removed the right leg.

Our appointment isn't until the 12th of January(only because I didn't call soon enough and the doc is only in the office 2 days a week) so we may have to cut this thing off ourselves. There are some really rough edges that are cutting into her leg.

Only my baby.



When she came home.




This morning.

Mery Christmas!!
