The view was amazing | This Ausome Family

https://thisausomefamily.wordpress.com/2015/03/29/the-view-was-amazing

The view was amazing. March 29, 2015. Friday was “Dress up as your favorite book character day” at school. Michael wanted to be Baby Bird, from the book Are You My Mother. I posted this picture last week:. He didn’t want a real costume so I made him that. He loved his wings, and was so excited to go to school and show them off. A friend of mine, Jessie, saw the picture I posted and sent me this message about what her son Owen said:. I have been crying an ugly cry, with happy tears, while writing this.

This little girl | This Ausome Family

https://thisausomefamily.wordpress.com/2015/04/14/this-little-girl

April 14, 2015. You all know I have talked so many times in the past about Jordan. She is Michael’s younger sister. Younger, but not by much. They are only 14 months apart. She is truly an amazing little girl. I really am not only saying that, because she is mine. She has this quality about her. Is it because she has an older brother with special needs? Would she be this way if he was not autistic? Jordan: Wobble wobble wobble, “Michael, draw with the sidewalk chalk.”. Jordan: “I KNOW mommy! Here is a pi...

Our everyday | This Ausome Family

https://thisausomefamily.wordpress.com/2015/03/31/our-everyday

March 31, 2015. It is THAT time of year again. It is almost April, and that means you will see and hear all things autism for a WHOLE MONTH. However, autism doesn’t begin and end in April though. For many of us, autism is year round. Autism is our everyday. Autism is not a thing to be feared. Our loved ones need to be embraced. They need to be accepted. They need to be understood. Do you not know much about autism? Do you have a question about autism? Autism is our everyday. Does he have ups and downs?

I can’t avoid it | This Ausome Family

https://thisausomefamily.wordpress.com/2015/04/28/i-cant-avoid-it

I can’t avoid it. April 28, 2015. This is somewhat personal, but I feel like I need to share it. I have talked once before, quite a while ago, about anxiety. My dad had it. I know I have it. I always have. I am an avoider. If something bothers me, I try like hell to push it to the back of my mind. I avoid confrontation. I avoid doctors. I…just avoid. No matter how hard I have been trying. Special needs parents anxiety. Can I offer you a kidney? Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Enter y...

Life is a Wiggle | This Ausome Family

https://thisausomefamily.wordpress.com/2015/03/26/life-is-a-wiggle

Life is a Wiggle. March 26, 2015. Yesterday was IEP day. It always causes me anxiety and stress. It was the reason that this meme was born:. In the days leading up to it I try to mentally prepare myself for it. I have to admit, I can’t say I have really ever had a bad experience. For that, I am grateful. I really do feel that his team has always had his best interests at heart. Yesterday’s meeting went well. He got the services I believe he needs. You know, it is raining out! I just watched him and smiled.

Can I offer you a kidney? | This Ausome Family

https://thisausomefamily.wordpress.com/2015/05/12/can-i-offer-you-a-kidney

Can I offer you a kidney? May 12, 2015. Well, this weekend I went to get Michael’s hair cut. As we were getting ready to leave, Freddy asked when we would be moving. I told him, in the the beginning of July. He said to me….ready….I hope you are sitting…. He said to me, “My wife and I talked. We will go down to Virginia before the school year starts, so I can cut Michael’s hair.”. How do you thank someone for a gift like that? How do you make them understand just how much the gesture means? Uplifting Tues...

The Final Countdown | This Ausome Family

https://thisausomefamily.wordpress.com/2015/06/01/the-final-countdown

June 1, 2015. So, today is June 1. The official move countdown has begun, for me. I have had “The Final Countdown” stuck in my head all day. In just 30 days we will be in our new home. It is the move Jason and I have been toying with, and talking about for years. It is the move we both have wanted for so long. The kids seem to be dealing with it pretty well for the moment, so that allows me a sigh of relief. At least for now. I know it will be bumpy and a learning curve for them as well. You are commenti...
