Rookie Run

While waiting at the start line, Haiden broke out the moves as the song "I Like To Move It' blared over the loud speaker. A few years ago he would of had his hands over his ears.
Look how far ahead my little man is! Go Haiden Go! Yes, I was that parent...yelling and cheering.
He even had enough energy to wave at me! Go Buddy! Keep it up! Yay!!!
After his race wearing his medal proudly!

My little man always amazes me! Before autism recovery he would of never been able to go downtown, leave his mommy, and compete in a race. Now after autism recovery, he went downtown, left his mommy, and competed in his first race.

Friends

Yesterday Haiden wanted to ask our neighbors, Cassidy (7 years old) and Tate (5 years old), to come over and play. He usually just walks across the street, knocks on the door, and ask if they can play. Since they have been playing together every single day this week I thought I would call their mom, Chelsea, first. When Chelsea asked the kids if they wanted to play I could hear "Yay! I do, I do!" with a ton of excitement in their voices. I had to hold back the tears. Just a few years ago one of my biggest fears was that Haiden would not be able to form meaningful relationships. Not only does he want these relationships, he can do it! They played together and we had Tate stay with us for dinner while his sister had a hair appointment. Now, one of my biggest fears is gone and Haiden has two really good friends!

Diet Whoas

Wow! It has been way to long since I've posted. We have been super busy, as always, around here.
I previously mentioned that Haiden was able to take digestive enzymes then eat whatever he wanted with no side effects. Well, I was wrong. We started to notice his eczema coming back and his attention span becoming shorter. Of course, I panicked and started analyzing everything he has eaten. Even though the digestive enzymes help some, I don't think it is our "cure". What can I say, we tried.
P.S. Vaccines, I still greatly dislike you!
On a side note, I ran my first half marathon this weekend and am hoping to be walking normal soon!

Here are my precious blessings! I thank the good Lord everyday for my three amazing children.
