2024/2025  Life is chaotic and there are ups and downs. catching up on a year and a half of updates for Isaac is a lot.I found a better app so hopefully I can post more updates more often, at least once a season i’m gonna try Big move last year and a new blending of families. Isaacs dad and mom split & share custody amicably enough. Mom and her fiancé Bobby live in one home and dad lives in another just a town or so away. Isaac found comfort in both new homes and tested limits with climbing dining room tables. Always finding sunshine where he can. We had fun camping Summer 2024, slept in the tent in his own sleeping bag Getting him out of his comfort zones. He had some growing pains which is hard when he can’t tell me what specifically hurts / Arnica lotion is great.  Fall farms and pumpkin patches  school days Isaac & Bobby (Charvel’s fiancé) Christmas light drives and walking around.  He had a good school year in a new school. We would walk 2...

2023 Christmas

 Isaac is wild most days. He is so smart and also mischievous. He has had a good christmas break! He will return back to school in January in the Developmental Skills class. He is in first grade and loves PE/dance & music classes. He loves being outside, even in the chilly weather. 

Isaac is joy filled

Most days Isaac is pretty happy. & now with spring and sunshine he is more energetic and happy. He is being more vocal and has intentional actions. He will seek out to sit in your lap and give cuddles. He will also give kisses, sometimes they are licks or a bite. He is finishing up the school year with a good team of teachers. He will do a round of intensive therapy using reflex integration which is for 3 week every weekday morning. After that he will have summer school (extended school year). I (Charvel/mom) will be looking for different opportunities in the summer for Isaac to participate in activities with other children.  We are also looking for a caregiver who can work with him weekday afternoons and be able to do some meal prep and housework. If any one knows of someone looking for work, please contact me.  Isaac is loved by his sister who has taken on being the older sister even though she is 3.5 years younger. Isaac has been more interested in her and has even give...

Happy Valentine’s Day

Isaac gave Valentine’s to classmates and enjoyed his party light flash light 

He is a Kindergartener

Image
Isaac started Kindergarten in a developmental skills class. Working with his new teachers to help him learn and grow. His appetite increased which has been really good so we hope he will self feed his food again soon.  Isaac also turned 6 years old!  He got his new amber and crystal necklace which will help his focus, commutation, and energy levels. I have herd him verbally say eat and intentionally hold our hands to go places or to help him.  He will start some in home ABA again and focus on practical things like teeth brushing, self dressing, and self feeding. 

summer days

 Isaac has had a great summer.  Spent 3 weeks doing MNRI (reflex integration) Physical Therapy.  4 weeks at Extended School Year (Summer school).  He had ABA (applied bahavioral analysis) therapy m-th in the afternoons.  Many days at the park enjoying the sun.  It actually got hot enough he wanted to go inside.  We went camping! He LOVED the beach.  And did half a week of Jump Start Kindergarten but then had an ear infection that got him. He is all better now.  He starts Kindergarten 9/2. He will be in a developmental skills classroom. We shall see if he has the energy to do full days.  He will be 6 real soon!! 

Music class

Isaac was able to go to Waverly’s music class and I was able to see him try and copy the other kids and the teacher. He ran around with his ribbon and chewy.
