October update 🎃

Hey guys! Well, I have intentionally put off writing an update about Isaiah. Things are just hard. He’s got PICA issues and “getting out of his seat and jumping around” issues at school. Outside of school, if he doesn’t follow the same routine as a school day then it’s just one meltdown after another. It’s difficult when you can’t leave your 7 year old alone in another room even for 5 minutes without him jumping off the walls or doing something he’s not supposed to be doing. Sunday’s… a day when we try to act like a normal family and go to church and then go to some sort of event like a fellowship or church meeting or something… are the most difficult day of the week for Chase and I. May the Lord God give us the strength to endure these difficulties because I know without the Holy Spirit…. Id be a mess All. The. Time.

So in other news…

• Isaiah got an MRI with anesthesia this month to rule out any possible brain abnormalities. With much prayer, Isaiah did great that day! Results were all normal. I’m not really sure if this is good or bad news at this point.
• Isaiah super enjoyed going trick or treating and “trunk or treating” at Trinity’s school. He practiced at school with his class and can say “trick or treat” clearly. The boy looooves candy. He choose starburst and skittles EVERY time 😂
• The time change has been a bit tricky. He is suuuuuper tired by the time it’s 6:30 but we hold him off until 7:30. He is definitely waking up earlier than 6:30am… he hasn’t adjusted yet. Neither has Silas. I think Trinity is the only one really.
• Isaiah loves to play Candyland, makes s’mores in the backyard fire pit, go on walks to see the “ducks”, watch “umizoomi” or “Daniel tiger”, catch frogs, jump of the trampoline, wrestle with Papa, take baths with Silas, and listen to veggie tales worship music and “seeds family worship”. Oh man, it is soooo sweet how he can sing “Amazing Grace” and “Hosanna” and “This Little Light of Mine”. He also loves going to the zoo, feeding the animals, and playing in the splash pad.
