About Me:

I am married to a wonderful man who is the light of my life. Between us we have 7 kids I have the 3 boys, and he has 4 girls, & we have a very special neice Ashlyn who is autistic.

About Your Autistic Family Member:

Ashlyn will be 5 years old on Aug 14th. She is my neice and we are adopting her. She is a very special child who made my mom live longer. My mom held on until after she was born before she passed away on Aug 18, 2003 just 4 days after Ashlyn was born.

Favorite Thing To Do With Your Autistic Family Member:

My favorite thing to do with Ashlyn is snuggle her and read books, play with her and teach her to learn new things

Ashlyn needs glasses

I had to take Ashlyn to a ped eye dr yesterday. We found out she needs glasses to correct her lazy eye. Anyone have any suggestions on how to keep them on her besides super glue LOL... She has to go back in jan and have a patch put on her eye. Not looking forward to that one. She freaks out with bandaides I can't imagine a patch.

Got good news today

I had to go to court for Ashlyn today. They wanted to see how progress was going. The judge told the foster worker he wanted the adoption finalized by December. I can see now it's going to be the best christmas present ever. Just had to share the good news :)

How do I make him understand

Oh boy it's been a rough few days here. Yesterday Ashlyn was having a really bad day. All she did was screamed and screamed. She had tantrum after tantrum throwing things kicking hitting you name it. My husband isn't use to it yet and kept telling to spank her. I tried explaining to him you can't do that it will only make things worse.

What foods does your child eat

I know Ashlyn is a picky eater and I wish I could get her to eat differant things. So far I can get her to eat peanut butter/ jelly, toast, mac & cheese, spaghetti, ceral, pancakes and of course cookies. Just wondering what are some other ideas to try. She has to lick everything before she eats it and if she don't want it you better watch out. It goes wherever she throws it.

Landon is doing pretty good. Learning new words and signs. He's actually doing a lot better with talking. Still a short vocabulary list. But, it's more than it's ever been. So, I'm thrilled. If I counted right. He can offically say about 25 words. :]

Going to blog later on all the details. Lots of things are going to be going on soon. And, have already taken place. So, be on the lookout for that sometime soon. :]

Hope that you have a wonderful weekend to come.

But, it's okay. =]

Glad to be back.

Hope everyone your way is doing well!
