Well, We got the diagnosis. What was hard for me is that All along I didn't think it would be it. Jamie has high-functioning Autism. That's right. Dr. Harkins also told us that he does have some sensory integration problems, but that kids with autism can have sensory problems.
When I read the review, I cried. It made me feel better when the doctor told me that his prognosis was great and that he will do just fine.
I talked to my mom about it and she said she knew two girls with HF (High functioning) autism. One is eight, and she said her mom says she had it, and my mom's like WHAT??.. She couldn't even tell. So that's a good thing.
That's what we found out.
He must be very special.. and he's so fun to be with.

News Coming about Jamie
As most of you know, We've gotten help with Jamie from Early Intervention with Speech and Occupational therapy for his sensory issues.
We've been crazy busy with the ARD for the PPCD class he's in, and testing from the Developmental Pediatrician Jamie's been seeing. They've done lots of testing, and asking him to do different things, like feeding a toy baby, asking him to try and follow directions, that sort of thing.
We've also been busy with the school's assessment with him too.
We have a parent conference at 11:30 tomorrow, and then Dr Harkins, (the Dev. pediatrician) will give her diagnosis for Jamie. It will be just us parents talking to her. I am excited. Trey thinks I'm crazy to be excited, but I am just a Mommy looking for some answers, and ways to help Jamie.
I will keep you posted.
:D
Will write more later.

Jamie Antics
A few days ago I was on the phone with someone and I realized things were a little too quiet. This is what I found. (This was afterschool one day!)
Yea. That there is Jamie. I guess he likes it.. Look how he's playing in it.
Here he was after he got up from the kitchen floor.
What a Kid!
What a mess!

Lots of News and Updates
I never mean to go very long without posting, but it happens.
We wanted Jamie to go Trick or treating, but he had a fever that night, so that was a no go. Maybe next year.
Jamie started school on his birthday! He is going to this PPCD (Preschool Program for Children with Disabilities) class and it's from about 7:30-10:30am everyday. The bus comes earlier but drops him off later. Jamie really really likes it. He even pulls me toward the bus when he knows it's coming.
He's doing good. He's been going for about two weeks(?) I think.

Some Good and Bad news
Well, from what the title implies, we do, have good news and bad news.
The bad news is that Jamie was sick all weekend with a stomach bug.
The good news is he's feeling much much better today. I think I got him hooked on popsicles lol.
I can't believe my little guy is going to be 3 in 8 days.. We're going to have his birthday party a little early.

VERY EXCITING NEWS!
Something very exciting happened.. and I'll tell you what.
We usually go to our in-law's house to do laundry once a week.
We were at our in-law's house and I was getting Jamie undressed for his bath. I took his diaper off. (I thought.. what the heck) and sat him on the grown up potty. I made sure to keep a hold of him so he wouldn't fall in. He PEED in the potty!!! Jamie was observing what he was doing, too. I was SO excited!!! I told him three or four times ' You peed in the potty!' I clapped a little bit.. and Daddy came to the door of the bathroom. I told him what happened.. He told me GREAT!. What's more, is that he went back to the potty a time or two more..and (actually he started going on the tile) I grabbed him and held him. and he POOPED in the Potty!!! So I was REALLY excited!
That's a great thing to happen.. Yay Jamie!!!
I'm hoping to at least take him to the potty before bath and have him sit on his potty chair at home!
I'm just all smiles.. This made my day!!!
Grandma and Grandpa may have to get a potty seat for their house!
