Sleepy Lil Boy

Bless his heart...he fell asleep on the couch (mind you, he never falls asleep on the couch). While this may seem like one more random picture of some parents sleeping child, to me it shows just how hard of a worker he is. He had a long day of various therapies followed by a haircut which he hates due to some of his sensory issues and then a trip to a store, which can be interesting in itself at times. Being on the outside, I can't even begin to imagine what life is really like for him but what I do know is that he shows such great strength and bravely each and every day that he gets out of bed with a smile on his face. This beautiful little boy works twice as hard as most people do just to try and lead a normal life that is on par with today's standards. I will continue to prayer for healing in his little body every single day of my life!

ABA/Potty Training

We just finished our 3rd ABA therapy session with our new provider and I really like the direction in which he is going with Connor. Granted, I didn't realize that we weren't getting the proper care with our last provider until we were 3 months in and now I see exactly what care we should have been receiving from the start. I am super impressed with how well he connects with Connor! At the moment, Paul and I are in the beginning of our parent training so that we can all be on the same page when addressing situations with Connor. I can see how beneficial this is even with neurotypical kids like Addison. I have no doubt that she (okay, maybe we) will reap the benefits from it too! It was made known yesterday too that our new therapist would like to help us potty train Connor. As you can imagine, I am ecstatic!!!!! I really haden't put a whole lot of thought to the whole situation just because I wasn't sure it was 'that time' but he assures me that it is possible. We plan to start as soon as parent training is done with. =)
