So here goes.
We took Galen and Flint to the park on July 3rd and Galen not only socialized, but even played in the water feature all on his own! It was an absolute blast!
On July 4th we went to see Grandma, Momzi, and Paw Paw. Galen sang "dead or alive" a few times. He'd never done so before. That was so awesome! But he's still afraid of fireworks.
We received a couch and a chair from Grammy and Grandpa and the kids absolutely love them!
Then we had a play date with a slightly older Autistic boy and Galen and Flint had a blast! Galen even played well with him though he'd never met him before.
A couple days later we all went to a baby shower. Galen absolutely loved it and made the place his own! He shared and played with balls and balloons with all sorts of adults and even a kid. His favorite part was the dog. He chased the dog and the dog chased him.
Then it was daddy's birthday. We went to a restraunt and took bubbles with us to keep Galen calm. He really LOVES bubbles now! He did pretty well, but had to be put in a high chair (which he hates) since he was trying to run off.
Galen did trip and bite through his lip towards the end of July and currently has a scar. :(
A good portion of July ended in doing nothing but staying home. The 104 degree weather was just too hot to do anything.
For Gran's birthday, August 1st, we went and saw her. It was such a great day. Galen hasn't seen her much and Flint's only seen her the twice now, but they were great together. He was running around like he owned the place! It was still a pretty warm day, so we stayed inside most of it, but towards the end of the day, we went outside and got some great pictures of the kids with Gran.
August has been a pretty lazy month since it's still hot out, the van's radiator broke, and I've been sick.
Galen has discovered the love of swinging in his therapy and also loves Brown Bear, Brown Bear by Eric Carle now. He tries to say the words in the book now. So Gran sent us a copy for the kids. :)
This isn't a very personable post, in my opinion, but I did want to update Galen's Autism Adventure, and don't really feel up to thinking at the moment, but t's been just shy of 2 months since I updated it.
