November, really????

I don't know where the time has gone. Days seem to keep passing by without the slightest hint of slowing down. This has been a very busy summer and fall for us. Kendal is doing great right now. I had talked about Kendal's behavior issues that were becoming major issues for us, but she has recently seemed to have been doing better. Kids are not automatically protecting themselves when Kendal walks up, and that is always a good thing! The school system has been using a two button communication device and it apparently is helping at school. The teacher sent a note home today that someone had brought in an "Easy Button" from Staples, and Kendal is willingly working hard so she can play with it. That made me crack up!

We have also been trying to work on Estate Planning for Kendal and it is such a large task to undergo. Everything from putting fact books together of Kendal's medical doctors, her wants, and likes and dislikes to hiring an attorney to put everything together - it's a big job. We subscribed to Protected Tomorrows (http://www.protectedtomorrows.com/) as it provides a step-by-stop process to help us with these issues. If only I could hire someone to do it all for me! Just finding the time to get these things handled becomes a very hard issue.

Halloween was so fun this year! Kendal had a princess outfit that she had received as a hand-me-down from her cousins, but it was a little too tight and the fabric was irritating to Kendal's skin. We purchased Kendal a Cheerleading outfit (mainly because it was one of the few things that didn't require a hat or something else on her head, which Kendal hates). She very quickly understood the concept of walking up to doors and getting candy. So beware ---if Kendal walks up to your door, she is probably expecting candy and she can throw a fit with the best of them.

Hope everyone enjoys the pictures. She is becoming such a big girl!

Please keep the faith with me on these posts - I will try to do better!
