Happy Day continued....

Well I delivered the Happy Meal and can I tell you that it was the best $3 and sum cents I have spent! I can't tell you how happy it made that little guy and how it moved me to see him so happy and feeling so special it was awesome I am lost for words to describe. He was so happy and full of smiles omg awesome!! After school I took my kiddies back to McD's for their Happy Meals and decided that I needed to buy and extra one for a special little girl that is in the afternoon class I was so happy and felt so good that I knew I had to spread the love a little more and I knew she would love it just as much as he did. So the kiddies and I went to drop off the other Happy Meal and Khristine and Marilyn were suprised to see us back again and they were all smiles too. I don't know what the little girls reaction was I will hear about that on Monday but I can tell you I had a very Happy Day. I didn't know a little box could make one feel so special it was one of those moment I will never forget, it's one of those life changing moments, it's one of those moments that make you thankful, it's one of those moments that makes you want to make a difference, it's one of those moments! Make someone smile it really feels good!

Oops Mommy Moment...

yeah that's right I had another oops or should I say DUH Mommy moment today.When we took Mav to school I noticed the sign for Kindergarten registration but didn't think much of since I just knew T was scheduled for Friday at 8 am WRONG it was today at 8 am and we made it thank goodnesss I looked in my little back book when we got back in the car we had 3 minutes before the appt. Everything went good I asked if she cooperated since it was early for her and she has been a little not so friendly in the morning but the tester lady said she did good and was even a little chatty.After she said chatty I thought oh great what secrets did she blab this time? This child is so good at telling others all sorts of info that you really don't want your 4 yr old telling but like she says it's the truth mom well ya but you don't have to tell everything even if it is the truth. She reminds me of that girl in the movie Kindergarten cop that says"Boys have a penis and girls have a vagina." Oh the joy of children lol.
On a scrapping note I finally ordered my goodies yesterday with the gift card D and Holly got me for my Birthday. I am very excited since I ordered some fun stuff (it took me 4 days to decide lol).
I have to share I made a mini album for Mav's Teach Khristine and she loved it. I was so nerveous about the book but she was happy and so was her hubby he took it to work with him today. She gave me permission to put it on the net so I will share pics later after I get them uploaded since I travel at turtle speed it takes alot longer.
I am loving 7 Gypsies right now man that company rocks so many cool supplies to use! Also loving MME transparencies they are neato to use! Love my Daughtry cd too awesome songs and get me reved up for the day. Love seeing Louis driving his Mustang gets all those old butterfly feelings back when I see him. Love hearing words coming out of the kids Mav has a few new ones this week and so does A. love the great outdoors it's been nice and sunny so lots of Play happening here and T just loves outside and all the critters coming out.Love seeing smiles they are everywhere such a good thing!Love creating and love the reaction that my creations are getting.Love Beef Jerky man that stuff is good.Love my online buds they are some awesome girls!Love being a momma (I spell it like this cause that is how it comes out of Mav's mouth)! Love life and what I have in it!!!

Autism Speaks created a music video of the Five for Fighting song, "World", which features images of autistic children and their families.

It is a truly moving video and was the work of Bill Shea.

The band is generously donating $0.49 to Autism Speaks for each time the video is viewed - the funding goes toward research studies to help find a cure.

When you have a moment, please visit the link below to watch the video and pass it along to your friends and family.

They are aiming for 10,000 hits, but hopefully we can help them to surpass this goal.

Rambling

Do you do it? I tend to alot lol. I was reading some earlier entries I have made an I do alot of rambling like I am now hmm imagine that. ok so sotp rambling and just post what's been happening(this is not good i sound like I am talking to myself now.

Lots of change happening here but change is good right? I guess sometimes it is.
I got to finally sit in Mav's class a couple days this week and see the Mav in action and it was so cool! I got to see him put the puzzle together and wow it was one of those moments for me. So proud!!He is too cool!
Went to Toys R Us this weekend donated to Autism Speaks and the nice cashier gave me some stickers and the buttons that the assoiciates at the store get to wear I thought that was pretty cool.
I had a little bit of an emotional thing this weekend wasn't good but at least I think it is all out of my system. I think it has something to do with my Birthday tomorrow it's a big birthday for me and I just am not feelin the love for it.Oh well it will be over tomorrow night then no thinking bout it for 365 more days.
I keep thinking about Ali being in Michigan and not being able to meet her this year but hey that's life get over it right there are things you have to wait for and this is one of them.
T is spending time with Great Gramps and Grams she got to go shopping yesterday and pulled the whole what did momma do when she was younger thing on Grams. I think it took Grams back and relive those special times her and I have had.
Grams sent up my BDay card the other day and it made me cry she put some mushy notes in it.She is one person that really thinks I am something and is proud of who I am. Love her!
Avery Ella is that a Daddys girl to the fullest. She is up his butt all the time it is kinad cute though.She is getting a bunch of teeth and gets to go to the DR tomorrow for some shots fun fun for momma.

Autism a word I never thought would be a part of my life but it has become a word that is said everyday , it is thought of almost every minute of the day, it is a word that sets my son a part from others, Autism a word that has forever changed our lives.

In 2005 I noticed that Mav was different he wasn’t talking what he did say was a repetitive tucka tucka sound, he played for hours alone, he had really bad tantrums over what I thought was nothing, he wasn’t responding to his name , he just wasn’t there he was off in his own little world. I thought there might be something wrong so I talked with family and friends and told them my concerns but they all passed it off as he’s a boy , boys do things and develop slower then girls. I wasn’t going to settle for an answer like that I knew deep in my mommy soul it wasn’t just being a boy it was something more. While surfing the net one night I came a cross Autism Awareness in the signature of a fellow scrapper on a message board and I also came across the word Autism on Ali Edwards blog after reading about Simon I wanted to know the signs of Autism since what Ali was writing sounded like the things Mav was doing so I searched it out on the net and there the signs were and Mav had almost all of them I cried could he really have Autism ? I vaguely remember hearing about Autism in High School when the real "Rain man" came to Hastings but Mav wasn’t like him so maybe it wasn’t Autism . I remember talking to Louis and other family members about Autism but they would have no part like I said before it was oh he’s a boy but Autism stuck with me I researched and reread again and again just so I knew what to say when it came time for his 2 year check with the DR. In November we had Mavs 2 year check everything was great he was healthy and then the DR asked if I had any concerns or questions which I usually don’t but this time I did that word Autism came out of my mouth it surprised the DR so I asked him could Mav have Autism? I went through the list I had in my head as much as I could remember of it since I was a ball of nerves that day and again I got no I don’t think it’s Autism he’s a boy and things are different with boys but since I was so concerned about it the DR wanted Mav to be evaluated. I called around to get us set up for evaluation, we were sent to see Marcy a speech therapist with the school system here. She did the evaluation and she too didn’t think it was autism but she was concerned about Mav’s speech delay so she sent us to Early On and that’s how we met Miss Dawn. We were suppose to see Miss Dawn in early DEC but since I was 8.5 months pregnant with Avery and having problems with the pregnancy we had to put it off till after she was born. In Late Jan we had our first visit with Dawn she did some evaluations on Mav and set up home visits to work on his speech and other issues. Dawn also wanted to set us up with more evaluations to determine whether it was Autism and unlike the rest she didn’t say he was just a boy and different she really knew what my concern was she understood I needed to know what was going on with Mav and she was going to help me get the answers. We were set up with a social worker Ellen from the school to do more testing related to Autism, an Occupational Therapist Jackie since Mav has a lot of sensory issues, another Speech therapist Kris, and a Psychologist Erin. All these women came to the house at the same time to do their testing and that day was one of the hardest days of my life. To have 4 complete strangers staring at you like you’re a monkey in the zoo and asking the same questions over and over again watching your sons every move and having him get so overwhelmed that he retreated to his room was a bit no a lot overwhelming for this momma. After they left I fell to my knees and cried I just didn’t know what to do or how to react to what had just happened what did they think, what were they talking about when they left, omg my house, what if they think it’s just me a bad mom and the what if's just kept running through my mind I will never forget that day. A few weeks later we had to go for more testing with Erin the psychologist Mav hated that she needed him to do things that he didn’t know how to do or just didn’t want to do so he threw himself on the floor and she gave up for that day the next week we had to go back for the same testing this time it was different she knew him a little better and got what she needed and the test was done thank goodness. Erin was the one who would determine whether Mav had Autism we had to wait a couple weeks to get the test results from Erin the wait sucked so much second guessing myself maybe I am a bad momma, maybe I did it wrong with him, maybe maybe maybe! During the couple weeks between testing and results we had another visit with Jackie the OT and we had our weekly home visits with Miss Dawn. Then wait was up in May Dawn and Erin came to the house sat with me on the sofa and explained to me the results. They told me something I had known for months now that my son Mavrick at the age of 2 became one of the 1 in 166 children (now 1in 150)to be diagnosed with Autism. On paper Mavrick is severely Autistic, in some areas he is delayed 2 years this was one of the hardest things to be told and is still hard to think and talk about. I cried my eyes out there on the sofa that day even though I knew I was going to hear those words it still was too hard our lives changed everything changed.. After being told mav has Autism I was told that he should attend school in the fall. what? He’s still a baby is all I could think and how was I going to send him to school what is he needs me and I’m not there I can’t , I won’t but I did. We had Mavs first IEP a couple weeks later where again we heard about the tests and the things that would be happening with school in the fall again I was very overwhelmed it’s hard to have 10 sets of eyes on you while hearing this again and as I sat there weeping I will never forget the words that the Ellen told Louis and I “He is still Mav Autism or no Autism he is still Mav.” I need those words and they help even on the emotional days which I still get I repeat those words and add a few to them. We had home visits weekly then twice a week during the summer with Dawn and Miss Laura these women did some great things to help both Mav and our family and we will forever be thankful for them even though at times they pushed till his breaking point and no momma wants to see it I now know why they did and I thank them!. In the fall of 2006 at the age of 2 mav started a special ed class for non school age children it was another hard day since he is still my baby but school has been great for Mav he is doing good he has made alot of progress this year.Mav has an awesome aid in class that he took too right away the first day named Marilyn he loves her I think he bonded so quickly with her not only because she is a sweet lady but because she could pass as a relative she has the look :)!He also sees Marcy twice a week and is starting to use more words which is awesome. He sees Jackie once a week and has made some good steps in his sensory stuff too. Mav loves school and I am glad that he is going, he is in good hands when he enters the door and momma isn't such a worry wart about school like she was in May of 06 lol.Things have been good with Mav he progresses and has some regression but with every regression it seems be take a giant leap forward which is worth it. He is an awesome child that I love more then words can express and I am blessed by him and his autism. You are probably thinking how can she be blessed by autism well let me tell you since Mav has been diagnosed life is now seen through a different set of eyes I don’t take the little things in life for granted anymore since those little things are what mean the most.3 of my favorite words are live, laugh, and love.Those affected by Autism will know why these are my favorite word but for those who are out there wondering why ... You need to Live- Live life to the fullest you can't dwell on the fact that your child has Autism. You need to Laugh and Smile- we do this all the time because of those little moments the smiles, the smooches,the giggles,and the Mavness. You need to Love- there is so much love in my heart for this child and the love that he gives me is amazing!
I know I am missing bits and pieces of our story but this will give you the idea of what we went through to get to where we are now and make you aware of Autism. There is no known cause or cure for Autism right now so please spread the word it’s time to solve the puzzle!!

ScrapNCircle layouts for April using SEI Such A Boy line

Bad Dreams

Man I hate having bad dreams the kind that make you wake from a deep sleep and then you sit just waiting to fall asleep but you can't because your thinking about the dream. That is what happened to me this morning. I need to look up what dreams mean since they scare the crap out of me. Teagan and Mav have been having bad dreams too. T has told me about hers and you can hear her in the night yappign in them. I know Mav has been having them because he wakes up screaming or he cries in his sleep and that really gives me chills. Maybe we should invest in some dreamcatchers? Do they really work? another thing to add to my look it up on the net list. Well it's a new day that was started early and the dreaming is gone so I should do something and be productive. Toodles~

Wednesday... Wednesday

Is it really April? If you looked out my window today you would think it was December we are having some really nice winter weather. Where is my Spring? I lvoe spring but it's not in sight at least not for a week or two. Craziness!!!
I planned to go renew my license tonight since it expires in 7 days but I think I will put it off another day with the weather the way it is I just don't want to go out in the snow again and I hate the lines at the DMV.:)Speaking of drivers license do you have a good picture? my last one wasn't great so I am going to try to get all glammed up at least glammed to me lol blow dry the hair maybe some cover up and I think my bazzill shirt lol total scrapper when you plan to wear a bazzill shirt for your license.THe DMV will be like what the heck is Bazzill color?
Mav started chewing bubble gum this week and it's been funny because he only chew certain colors. He had a red gun ball yesterday but wouldn't have any part of it, the day before it was yellow and he loved it till it got stuck in his teeth then I had to hurry up and yank it off his teeth since he was screaming in the parking lot of the grocery store one it was out all was back to the regularly scheduled program. I do have one problem with the whole gum thing when he is done if it's nt stuck in his teeth he tends to leave it here or there for mom to find which can be a sticky mess and gross.
I finally scrapped lastnight which was nice. I haven't had the mojo and was getting really upset about it. I did read and reread Ali Edwards A Designer's Eye Books so I think it helped as I got 4 layouts done in less then 2 hours.Can't wait for her new book that is due out this summer. I also used my new Autumn Leaves stamps I got in the mail from Chelle too and I love them. I even did a handwritten title Elsie style which I really liked will have to do it more often now. Will be uploading the layouts later today.

Easter

It was the coldest Easter since my mom was pregnant with me. We had snow so no egg hunts here. The kids did get some cool goodies in their buckets and they were happy with that. We also went to my mom and dads in the afternoon for dinner. The kids got buckets and we colored eggs there which was fun. One of the most exciting things about Sunday was Louis trying to teach Teagan how to jump rope it was cute and will be scrapped soon lol. Mav of course had to pick through everyones buckets get out the peeps and line them up in the color order it was cute but Avery kept sneeking them away and eating the heads off the rabbits lol. We had a nice dinner too and spent time with Dad since he just returned home from a not so great Spring Break trip to Florida man did I miss him. I have to say beign a kids during holidays was pretty good but watching your kids as a parent during the holidays is great I love it!!! HOpe you all had a wonderful Easter!!

Also I have been trying to get our story... Autism and Us on here but for some reason everytime I get half way done my computer does soemthing and poof it's gone so I am trying to get it on here sorry for the wait.

Mav returned to school today after 2 weeks off I wasn't sure how it would go but Mrs. M said he did great and he was chompin some gum to prove it(that is the spring reward thing for the day if he has a good day he gets apiece of gum. They worked with meat today he was alright with it the smell at least he didn't eat it but that is alright.

Happy Monday!
