Happy Birthday Kyle!

I decided, with much pushing and shoving from Jen, to have a birthday party for Kyle this year. I am so glad I did! He loved all of it!! We opened presents and he did so good thanking everyone for his gifts. Then we sang Happy Birthday and he even blew his candles out!! It was really cute. We all had a great time, and I'm so glad we could celebrate with a few friends and family this special day! Happy 6th Birthday buddy!


Kyle enjoying all the attention!

Bus ticket?!

Kyle has gone through 4 bus drivers since the beginning of this year! Yes I said it 4! Well the latest one is a small Hispanic woman who is very soft spoken. Kyle has been absolutely AWFUL since she started. He throws himself on the ground, it takes both her and I to get him into the seat. While kyle is throwing this really nice tantrum the other 5 or so kids on the bus start to get agitated. Last week one of them tried to escape while this poor lady is trying to buckle my screaming kid! Today there was a rather large African American girl who was sitting in the front seat and started hitting a rather small African American girl. I told her to stop because the bus driver was dealing with my kid. Well the larger girl proceeded to take her seat belt off and climb over seats. The bus driver looked at this obviously mentally disabled girl and said "That's it your getting a bus ticket!"

Now, I'm not an extremely intelligent person but, I'm pretty sure not one of those kids knows, much less cares what a bus ticket is. I think these bus drivers need a lil more than how to drive a bus training. Maybe how to deal with a bunch of autistic kids training, eh?! A bus ticket ain't gonna do much bus driver!




(This before when kyle "liked" the bus...miss those days.)

Cody the future barber...NOPE!

Today I spent the morning at Jen's working on our 10 year class reunion. The kids were playing well together for the most part. Cody and Leah were in the other room playing with paper and markers. At some point they got scissors and were cutting paper (or so we thought thats what they were cutting. We didnt pay much attention because they were letting us accomplish a lot. Huge mistake on our part. A little while later we wer having them clean up some candy mess they made and Cody proudly said to Jen, "and here's Leah's hair." We both gasped and immediately Jen went to leah's hair and we found where the missing chunk belonged. It didn't seem too bad, and looked like it would blend pretty well. After Jen scolded her and explained that we don't cut our own hair she did what every kid would...ratted Cody out! She said, "well Cody cut his hair too!" I looked at Cody and sure enough saw a huge chunk missing from the top of his hair! What the heck guys?!It wasn't until about 30 minutes later that I discovered he had gone to town with the scissors! He had bald spots all over the side of his head.
