Today my firstborn is four.

I stayed up far too late last night, reminiscing about Rylan's birth. I went through all my journal entries from the days before and after his arrival, the photos, the videoclips, and the MEMORIES that seem etched in my brain. I can't get over what a dramatically life-altering change that set of events brought to our lives. And what a whirlwind ( Read more... )

Happy birthing day to you. I love the pictures with your commentary. Make me feel soft and nostalgic for my birthing days too.

awwww! How you talk about him and needing him in your life like he is is just so sweet.

Blastball sounds interesting - what is it?

I hope I didn't come off as too clinical in my note to you the other day. I think I tend to do that sometimes, and my intent was never to say "your child is this way" etc, because you clearly know him best. I just wanted to give a bit of reassurance that he is still might be fairly normal, and if he does end up needing services that he will seem normal to so many people.

I hope he has a fun upcoming party!

Oh for sure, even with all the challenges he presents me, I love him furiously and know that he's in my life for a reason!

Blastball is the step before t-ball, just to introduce the basic concepts for kids 2-5 years. It is HILARIOUS watching two mini teams of kids trying to stay on task to hit and catch the ball... I put a few photos on FB of his team...

I totally appreciated your comments, no worries. He may actually turn out to be fairly normal in the end--- this is my greatest hope. But so far just leaving him to get there on his own has only shown him to lag further and further behind, so it is time for some concentrated intervention, this I know.

I hope he has fun at his party too! He seems to love parties with all the buzz of excited kids. There will be plenty of it with 20+ kids. Thankfully it is at a rec centre kindergym, so all the entertainment is provided and the mess stays there!
