More about Apraxia

Here's some more info about apraxia for those who are curious... Apraxia Kids

For the longest time I just wanted to hear my son say Mommy. Now I have that and I am so blessed. I can not thank Mikey's teachers enough. They truly are angels sent from above.

Project 365- Day 35
I am so proud of Mikey. Today was his 3rd Tee ball game. So far we had only gotten him to bat once in his first game. Today Mommy and Mikey went to the game without the rest of the clan. With a lot of encouragement Mikey played the whole game. I am amazed at how far my little man has come in the past couple months. Mikey is not your typical four year old. When Mikey was 2 he still had not started to talk... we really didn't have very many sounds or any babble. We were told that he has apraxia of speech.

Basically his brain doesn't tell his mouth how to speak. After two years of speech and special education classes it seems like his brain has turn on. His speech is still very rough but he can get his point across. He loves getting on the school bus in the morning and loves playing with his friends. We still have a long road ahead of us but we're getting there. Now if we could get this potty training thing down...

Beauty Queen

Project 365- day 30
May 18, 2009
I guess I am on Sarah overload.But after spending the weekend with her and hearing from all the adults (and seeing for myself) how sweet and caring she is I have to say she is an amazing little girl. With only 7 years in her pocket she has been through more then most adults I know and she has came out smiling with her head held high. Its amazing how children deal with hardship so much better

then adults. I hope she holds onto her compassion and grows in grace and love to become the woman I know she can be.

These photos were took about a week ago on her birthday. And if I must say so myself she's a beauty.

Sarah had her rehearsal for her dance show today. She is in three numbers: Ballet- Through your eyes, Tap-Hakuna Matata, Jazz- True to your heart. I was so proud of her and how far she's come. I must say I shed a tear or two during her ballet dance.
