WOW!!! I guess I've been a big slacker, since it's been 2 months since I blogged last. I can't believe how time gets away from ya.
So much has happened. I guess I'll just start back in April. (sorry no pics)
Kanton turned 3 on the 2nd of April and we took him to the Train museum in Ogden. Oh my goodness, did that boy have a blast!! For those of you that don't know, Kanton is a Train freak!!! He has so many trains and talks about trains all the time, and of course lines everything up like its a train. So we knew that would be something he would love.
Next, Kanton started Pre- School on the 14th of April. That was sure a fun experience. His first day was hard. Presonally I think it was harder for me than it was for him, Silly mommy. He went Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. He has done really well with the speach therapy, his colors, ABC's and 123's. Now when ever we drive past a school he says to me "Momma, thats my school?" His last day was this past Wednesday, and he'll start up again in the fall. I'm looking forward to getting him going again, so he can continue to make the awsome progress that he has started!! Kanton is talking so much now, it's hard to imagine that just a little over a year ago, he only had just a hand full of words. Now it's so crazy, sometimes we can't get him to stop talking. But I am so very greatful that he does talk. Most of the kids in his pre-school didn't have any words and if they did it was really hard to understand them.
We have been tremendiously blessed with the progress he has and continues to make. He still has his struggles, but we're working on them. I goal for him is that hopefully by the time he is to start Kindergarten, that he won't have any delays and that he'll be able to handle being in a normal school setting and that the Doctors will be able to take away his Autism diagonses. That is our goal, and of course right now OUR DREAM!!!!
As for Rob and I, we have done so much in our yard this year. We planted a small garden this past week and are so proud of it. We hope it will do well. We're sure looking forward to eating from it.
We are hopeing that we'll be able to do some traveling this summer, to go up to Idaho to see my sister and her family, possible Wyoming to see my other sister and her family and then to Cedar City to see all of Robs family. If we play our cards right, we just might be able to work it out.
So we hope to see all you family member soon....

Where has the time gone????
Hello there, Yes we are still alive. Things have been a little crazy. I have been busy with all of Kantons early intervention and play group and with a class on ASD's that I had been going to on Fridays.
Now that is has all come to an end, we do have some free time. For a few weeks anyways.
Kanton had a Pre-School evaluation to see if he would qualify for services and what kind of class he would need to be in.
I had a meeting last Wednesday with all of the early intervention workers and the school reps. With all the issues that he still has and all the different things that he is still behind on, They have all decided that he does have Mild to Moderate Autism. So yes he absolutaly qualifies for services. So he will be starting school on April 13th.
I am finally relieved to know what it is that is going on with my Sweet Angel, but it is so very hard to digest. I've known for a while now that there was a possability that he might have some form of autism, but lately he has make such awsome progress, so I was starting to leave that suggestion behind. So when they informed me on Wednesday that his does have it, my heart sunk!!!
I am so very greatful for this precious little miracle that our Heavenly Father has allowed me to be the Mother of. I can't even imagine this life without him. He has been the most difficult and rewarding blessing our lives. I pray that he will continue to improve and develope to the point that he will be able to achieve the goals that we have set for him and of course for the goals that he will make for himself as he gets older.
We love you Kanton!!!
