Today is a snow day, actually is a school closed day. The first of the season. Most kids I'm sure were cheering this morning that they didn't have to go to school and could stay home. Well ours, not so much. Logan is very uneasy. He's been SOO mischevious today, tipping furniture and chairs, asking non-stop for things...it's difinitely wearing on my nerves. Abby's been a bit emotional too. The "normal" Monday would've been so much better for them but alas, mother nature was not so kind. It was blowing this morning, nothing now...we may go outside to play for a bit, just to break the monotony.
Justus started imitating a wave today. Over and over, Steve and I are amazed at his development. We're so proud of him, and all his accomplishments. He is one awe-inspiring kid. Love him to peices. There is part of us though, that is a bit unsure of how to deal with the situation of the kids and their autism, and him. He is already trying so hard to interact with the kids. Will his feelings be hurt? Will he learn to understand and accept that life will be different for him than his peers with siblings? How will he deal with that on top of all the other details surrounding his parents etc?!? One can often be overwhelmed with this...I sure hope that Steve and I will be able to be the best parents, and offer as much love and support as he needs. I don't think this will be an easy thing but I hope that we can make the best of it, bring the good to light.

Kids tend to work these things out for themselves - Justus will probably actually find that his homelife is "normal" and be quite surprised to find out that all homes don't have autistic or adopted children. Just encourage each child to be the best little child that God wanted him/her to be - He has it all under control.
