Birthday fun!

It's been awhile since I last wrote. I have been soooooo busy! Blake has around 3 appointments a week right now. One with his speech therapist, one with a wonderful woman named Lana, she is an infant development specialist, and a group day with other kids. Both Blake and Garrett really love group day. Blake comes home singing the songs, it's so cute! Ha ha i'm the only parent there that has two kids.

Blake and I had our birthdays this weekend. He turned 3. On Saturday we took him out to Mcnabs farm for a hayride to the pumpkin patch. He didnèt enjoy the hayride at all. Infact he tried to jump off the ride when it was moving so we had to hold him down. As usual we got all the stares from other parents. That is hard to get used to. The ride stops at the pumpkin patch and you get off and pick out your pumpkin and then you have to get back on. We had to chase him down to get him back on but once we got going again he settled down a bit. Garrett loved it! But he is so easy going, he loves anything. It makes me kind of sad that Blake has such a hard time with new things. I want him to enjoy life. It is also sad for me to see other kids and their amazing birthday aprties with lots of kids and presents. I cannot even wrap his presents because he gets doesn't like the wrapping paper. I just want Blake to experience all the wonderful things about life without being afraid or over stimulated.
One thing he did love though was the pigs! I think we could have stood there all day watching them dig in the dirt. He kept saying, "Pigs! Hi pigs!" It was so cute! As long as there are not too many people around and too much stuff going on, he seems to be okay.
Anyway to say I have my hands full right now would be an understatement! Life is very interesting with a 3 year old and an 11 month old. But I still enjoy every minute of it. I will try and write more often. I just don't get alot of time to sit down in front of the computer these days.

  1. I could have written the exact same words, about the wrapping paper...everything, when my daughter was that age (she has PDD-NOS). Everyday she improves, and now, at almost six...she is a completely different child. She talks, she enjoys friends, she loves to open presents and is excited about Santa. Sure, I still see differences when I see her with other children her age, but that therapy makes a world of difference. It really does. You hang in there hon. x
