This past weekend was a pretty busy one for us......we decided since it was supposed to be nice, well, HOT for that matter we needed to take advantage and get some stuff done. The deck was top priority and I'm happy to say it got done and it looks great! We are officially ready for summer around here, now!!! The boys were going to my parents, after church, so Brenton and I could get stuff done w/o being distracted w/ 2 little boys needing attention =) Before leaving though, Ethan wanted to drive his truck, so we let him and before you we knew it, our neighbor's grandson was walking down the sidewalk ready to take part....Ethan was so excited to take his new friend Austin for a spin, he even let Austin drive =) Anyway, after getting the boys to Sugarcreek and a few hours of work, I'm happy to say, everything on the to-list got done...the boys have their summer oasis outside w/ a pool, sandbox, table w/ umbrella, and water table! Summer was never one of my favorite seasons, but now that I have my boys, I'm really enjoying it. It is so fun to have picnics while splish-splashing in their kiddie pool....Last night, after picking the boys up, we were exhausted and thankfully so were the boys....we didn't make it past 9:30! I knew I had to be up to get Colin to his 3 year appointment, so I went to bed preparing myself for that!

Needless to say, one of the milestone events that I truly don't care for....are the yearly doctor visits for my boys! I hate that they have to have vaccines, but I know it's for the best.....I hate to hear that they are behind, via the medical knowledge of things.....HOWEVER, today was a day that I was actually looking forward in getting "over" with.....The reason is, I needed/wanted to get some answers for Colin! I've known for quite some time that he is "different" if you will in things. Has his 'unique' way for doing stuff and I was prepared for what I was told. I've been pondering this, researching it, and getting comfortable with the thought of it since October of last year.....Anyway, the outcome is getting an RDOS test done for Asperger's Syndrome (AS)! For those of you not sure, AS is the high-functioning portion of the Austim Spectrum and although I shed a few tears, I know that this part of the spectrum is a good one and he can lead a great life, if he is diagnosed? I, as his mother, will make sure the avenues that are needed to help him.....will be done! He's a special, little boy and I (we, his Daddy too) will do what it takes for him. So, the next few months will be filled w/ testing, speech therapy, hearing tests, possible PreK program, etc! Whatever it takes for this little angel, will be done.....No matter what, he will always know that he is loved, cared for, and no one will ever (well, in my grasp anyway) make him feel like he can't be who he wants to be!!!!
