I hope you never lose your sense of wonder. You get your fill to eat, But always keep that hunger. May you never take one single breath for granted. God forbid love ever leave you empty handed. I hope you still feel small when you stand by the ocean. Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens. Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.... I hope you dance.

A leap of faith~Joseph steps

Last month we moved Joseph to part time status at Lynnwood Elementary. In doing so Joseph was able to begin taking classes at Edmond Heights k12. This is the same school the girls attend.

Joseph is participating in a gym class that kicks his butt every week! It wears him out so much that he could easily fall asleep in his next 2 classes, Lego's and a math.

He is attending Lynnwood Elementary M, W, Th 1/2 day and a full day on Friday. Joseph is at Edmond Heights 1/2 day Tuesday am and for martial arts on Thursday afternoon.

Joseph calls his martial arts class HI-YAH!
As far as I can tell, it seems to be going alright. He now had therapy 3-4 days a weeks. For about 1.5-2 hours a day.
On Mondays in addition to therapy he is also participating in s social skills class that last for 2.5 hours. He is exhausted on Monday and Tuesday nights.
Waiting for baseball season to start. He has been seeing a lot of baseball on tv and has been talking about it. I hope that there will be a team for him.

Praying that this is a good fit for Joseph.

Looking for that good fit is such a part of life for all kids, but esp. for our kids with autism. Go, Joseph!
