First loose tooth---GONE
Airen got home from school today and went about playing the WII like usual. Did his business with Legos and such. Comes and sits on the couch with me. I asked him how is loose tooth was doing. This morning when we looked it was really close to falling out. Well sure enough the tooth fell out and is gone. Most likely he swallowed it. He started crying and I got a bit upset also. Airen was upset that the tooth fairy wouldn't come since he didn't have the tooth to leave in the tooth fairy angel baby he has. Mommy was upset because its the first tooth. I know a bit petty to be upset about unless you are a mommy. So once we calmed down we typed up a letter to leave the tooth fairy. Airen came up with what to write and it says that the tooth fell out but we aren't sure where it went and that he hopes she will still visit him tonight. I can't wait for Airen to get up in the morning!! The tooth fairy has told me she plans to be a wonderful tooth fairy and make one little boy very happy in the morning!!!

Mara's first haircut
This afternoon I took Mara for her first haircut. Of course we had many others come also, Naw & auntie & cousin. Quite the turnout for such a big milestone. I've been hesitant to cut Mara's hair because she has these gorgeous curls in the back. The girl cutting her hair said the curls seemed pretty strong and most likely won't be going away anytime soon--YEAH!!! Mara did surprisingly well. Much better then any of us thought. The first picture shows the only time Mara got upset--the hairdryer to get the loose hairs off!!!
Airen Easter Bunny!!!
Airen's class had a visit from the Easter Bunny on Thursday!! The kids all left school with cute easter baskets filled with goodies and bunny ears and faces decorated. It was so cute!! I was shocked that Airen let his teacher put a pink nose on him and wiskers. He was so cute!!!

Lego weekend
This weekend Lego had a master build weekend. Kids of every age got to help build an 8 foot tall Pirate. I took Airen up today and he had a good time. Lucky for me the van is having brake issues or I am sure we would have been at the mall all weekend!! As it was we went this morning then back this evening with some friends to see the final project. The kids had a blast but us mom's were a bit worn out keeping track of 3 boys ages 4,5,& 6!!! YIKES!!! They had a good time and Mara just kept laughing at them the whole time.

This is a time for those who do not understand or have questions to please ask. We want to answer questions and let others know what autism is. Please do not tell us you are sorry to hear our child is autistic. We do not dwell in the diagnosis, only strive to make things easier for our child. You won't see us feeling sorry for ourselves so please don't for us. We are everyday families who are doing the best we know how for our children. We are mothers, fathers, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers, therapists, doctors and friends. We all have a common goal...loving and supporting our loved one with autism. If you ever have questions about how Airen is affected by autism please ask. As a parent I want others to be informed and have a better understanding of my son.
