Just another crazy month in our household! The weather may finally be starting to cool down, which would be great! But this is Texas, so who knows what tomorrow will bring!
We spend a good chunk of our time this month running! Another race down for the kids and we even got to cheer Daddy on in his 5K.
Go Daddy, go!
Now it's Little Buddy's turn. Race face on!
Both the kids (and Daddy!) did really well in their races, so we decided to go for pancakes afterward to celebrate. Unfortunately, Little Buddy was so enamored by the idea of pancakes that he wouldn't look at the camera for a picture!
"Daddy, enough of this! Pancakes are that way!"
We also had a lot of fun at the costume run at Run Club. Here come the airplane pilot and Daddy Bones!
Our Minnesota visits went as scheduled, but with one minor change...Daddy went on one with Little Buddy! It was so nice for Momma to have a week off.
Hanging in the hotel with Momma, just eating quesadilla.
His favorite Paul Bunyan picture in the airport!
Handing with Daddy WILLPower and waiting for the new Chick-Fil-A to open at the airport.
Let's see, what else did we do this month? One of our friend's had a birthday party for her son and both Little Buddy and Little Sweetie got to go. It always means a lot when Little Buddy gets to go to a party. He had such a fun time bouncing at Pump-It-Up!
He loved the slide!
We also had some big stuff going on in the Sanfilippo world...
Watching our friends from Carter's Challenge on The Doctors! Way to spread National Awareness!
Checking out his new giraffe buddy from our friends at the Sanfilippo Children's Foundation in AUSTRALIA! Little Buddy has some pretty cool friends in some pretty cool places!
Height and Weight
Still coming at about 50 1/2 inches and close to 63 pounds.
Personality
Unfortunately we are hitting some emotional times. He just seems tired all the time. School is wearing him out. We are going to try to add naps back in on the weekends to help him rest.
Developmental Changes
Still stable but as we head into November, it's been hard. It's been hard because we remember how great he was doing this time last year. He's lost quite a bit in terms of attention and verbal ability and that is hard. But we remind ourselves that the fact he still has any verbal ability is huge. As long as we are helping him live a life a joy and dignity, that is all that matters.
It's hard for him to sit still, but if we put his knee immobilizers on, he can sit and focus and play for awhile.
Every once in awhile, he will sit. Here they are, just two siblings in Batman pajamas watching TV together. Sometimes it is the semi-normal moments like this that I cherish the most.
Fun Tidbits
We finished the month with a lot of Americana! First we took our usual walk down to the polling place to exercise our right to vote, then we told people to "Be Brave" after the election, and then we thanked our Veteran's for their service! Lots of USA pride and flags around...Little Buddy was in heaven!
We are blessed to live in the USA and proud of it, even during trying times!
Have a good night,
LBM
Little Buddy's Momma
