Avery James Louis was born August 23rd weighing 8# 12 oz, 20.5 inches long 1 week before the start of school for Aiden and Austin!
Aiden loves him so much. He hugs him, tells him "I love you," and asks to hold him all the time. This was expected, as he did the same thing with Ashton. However, the change in routine with school starting, therapy on hold due to baby's arrival, and a crazy summer routine threw Aiden off quite a bit. He is just now getting used to our new life and schedule 3 weeks later. He couldn't focus/concentrate, and he seemed more "autistic" than I've seen him in a awhile. Gratefully, I seem to be having a harder time with the transition then he is! I'm STILL not adjusted! I go to sleep at 8-9 at night from exhaustion. It is surreal that I have FOUR children! I pray every day that I do the best I can for my boys. It is hard to balance it all.
Adams Elementary School--1st day of P4J for Austin and 1st Grade for Aiden! Ashton of course had to have a backpack too, and was so upset when he couldn't go in with Austin. He still wears a backpack every morning to drop him off :)
I was a little thrown off when the Principal called last week to tell me there was an incident in the bathroom with Aiden. Apparently, a 2nd grader told on another 2nd grader and reported that he touched Aiden in the bathroom. Of course, Aiden still has a communication disorder, and was unable to tell the teacher what really happened. At home, he still couldn't report if anything really happened. I believe the 2nd grader was trying to help Aiden, and so does the Principal given the reaction of the student questioned. Aiden isn't used to wearing pants or peeing at a urinal (I'm a girl, sorry, but he is used to going into the girls bathroom...time to let him go in by himself I guess). A sad reminder that Aiden still has struggles, even though, to me, he is my shining star given all that he has overcome.
