Update

Reilly has been making such progress with his communication. He and Braedon enjoy watching a video that show pictures and colors in different languages. English, French, Spanish, and Japanese to be exact. After watching this video, roughly, a million times they can count to 10 in all four languages. Reilly, especially, seems to enjoy French. Much to the delight of his teachers he now earns a set of numbers and colors he can say in French during his sessions. They find it very cute. As do I.

Braedon is getting ready to graduate from the Pingree preschool program in June. He'll start kindergarten in the fall with a typical mainstream class. I am sooooo nervous. Somedays I think he'll do great. Other days I want to throw up. He seems to have very good social skills and makes friends easily. What is difficult for him is communicating with those friends. He doesn't communicate in a typical style. I keep telling myself that with time things will improve. They usually do.

We have decided to get rid of our dog. She is simply too much to handle. When I think of this summer with the boys AND the dog, I think one of them must go. Since I like my boys more then I like the dog, it was an easy choice. So, this weekend we are putting her on craigslist. Hopefully she is gone this week. Braedon will be sad, but he'll get over it. Reilly will be so happy he'll probably dance.
