Turning 5 was a really big deal. Maybe even more so for Mark and me than it was for them. Seems like such a milestone. Mark and I talked about how far they've come in five years. When they were tiny, we thought, "will they ever talk?" Now we think, "do they ever stop talking?" Mark brought August up to Northaven on their birthday for snacks and cupcakes. We stopped by Luke and Henry's sweet teacher's house to deliver her a cupcake and then headed to Legoland.</div>

Pure joy? Even your dreams are happy? I didn't realize that I don't feel this way all the time until this last week. I mean I know I'm not happy all the time, but I don't know that I've ever felt more happy, more content, more love towards someone else until this last week. Why you may ask? August. Simply August. August is saying words. He's repeating our words. I've wanted to make a list of the words he's said, but there are too many. For those of you who know August, you know that these words are HUGE. August started using a communication device a couple of months ago. I am thrilled about him<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> using a communication device as his way to communicate with me as it is so wonderful for him to be able to communicate-period. Three weeks ago August would make a "guh" sound when asked to say the word go. He is now saying G-O, GO! Two letters, one huge word. He's even saying "Luke." Henry asked when August would say his name and I told him soon, very soon. This is joy. This is happiness like I've never felt. Geez , even my dreams are happy. That's something. </span><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> I think this picture shows August in a pretty happy place.

Henry in his little blue cast.<br />

He fractured his wrist in March when falling on the bed wrong. Our luck of no visits to emergency clinics, for this sort of thing, had finally run its course as August had to get staples in the back of his head from a fall off the porch steps in April.

<br />
I was sitting near August and this little girl sat near me on her sit and spin. Her first question, "Why is he crawling?" My response, "his little legs and core aren't strong enough for him to walk yet." Her second question, "Can he walk on his knees." Me, "yes."<br />
<br />
Third question, "Does he talk?"<br />
Me, "No."<br />
<br />
Fourth question, "How do you know what he wants?"<br />
Me, "He points, gestures, goes and gets what he wants and has started using a little communication book."<br />
<br />
Fifth question or statement, "That must make you sad?"<br />
Me, "yes."<br />
<br />
Sixth question, "Will he be the kind of kid who carries a Woody doll when he's ten?"<br />
Me, "I don't really know. He's playing with toys similar to his brothers and I have no idea what he'll be into when he's ten."<br />
<br />
I'm slowly figuring out that this little girl is trying to understand what's going on with August cognitively and doesn't really know how to ask this.<br />
<br />
Seventh question, "What does he do all day, just sit there?"<br />
Me, "No, he does really similar things to what his brothers do, he plays, watches, TV, eats, sleeps, pretty normal stuff."<br />
<br />
Eighth question, "Will people make fun of him?<br />
Me, "I hope not, but probably."<br />
<br />
Henry then comes up to me and asks me something.<br />
<br />
Ninth question-"Why's his voice sound like that?" Referring to Henry.<br />
Me, "One of his vocal chords doesn't work and that's just his voice?"<br />
<br />
Tenth question, "Will he always sound like that?"<br />
Me, "probably."<br />
<br />
The eight year old then sees Luke and asks, "is anything wrong with him?"<br />
Me, "not that I know of."<br />
<br />
The eight year old then says, "So, you have one perfect son."<br />
Me, "I guess you could look at it that way. I think they're all pretty cool little guys."<br />
<br />
This conversation has been on my mind ever since it happened. I told Mark, I don't really know what to do with it, but it's upsetting to me thinking about it. Not sure why it's so bothersome as they are such innocent little questions.<br />
<br />
A few minutes later and I am feeling better and wondering, "where the hell is this eight year olds Mom as I have a ton of questions for her......"Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07168014673951391163noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904475691608754320.post-48598060277746180732013-12-09T08:22:00.002-08:002013-12-09T08:22:58.416-08:00MickeyThe boys love magna-tiles and are hopeful they'll get some from Santa. I just told Luke and Henry that maybe they should tell Mickey, their Elf on the Shelf, that that's what they would like from Santa. Luke just ran and told Mickey, "I want some more magna tiles, Mickey." He then came running back into the kitchen and said, "that didn't work, maybe I should say it louder." He then went and shouted his request to Mickey. I hope Mickey isn't deaf.Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07168014673951391163noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904475691608754320.post-86625447576743693172013-11-11T12:11:00.001-08:002013-11-11T12:12:04.965-08:00Luke's Stuck Again<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Quick Translation-Luke and Henry were awake early and snuck into the living room. Mark and I walked in to find them on the couch reading a book together. Luke quickly said, "Dad, I have a lot of sugar in my mouth." They told us they had shared a candy bar (three musketeers) and opened it with the safety scissors.Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07168014673951391163noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904475691608754320.post-42394609734548609212013-11-07T18:41:00.000-08:002013-11-08T06:45:34.427-08:004th Birthday Party<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
