I can't believe it's been a year since I have posted.
Lots of things have been happening though.
For one, My sister's Birthday is today! Jamie did so cute in the Primary Program Presentation in Sacrament Meeting last week! He did so great memorizing his line. :)
Jamie loves Preschool and he loves riding the bus.
Trey has been out of school for a while now.. so I will have to think about going to school online perhaps. I'm not quite sure when I should start.
Right Now I'm trying to sell stuff on EBAY and taking care of Jamie.
Not very much out of the ordinary happens around here. Life just happens, including work, Jamie going to school, I clean all the time.. :)
Well that's it for now!

Busy Busy
I haven't posted since March! Oh my gosh.. it's been pretty busy around here.
Well, in May Jamie had his first ER visit. He was walking pretty fast by this cement ramp we step over to get to the stairs to our apartment. He was too excited one day and tripped.. and got a about a one inch deep cut on his head by his hairline.. I was SO scared! For one.. I didn't know that head wounds bled so much. I called the pediatrician in a panic, and I told them only that he was bleeding and that he probably needed stitches. They were all calm and told me to get to Methodist Children's Hospital. I was like.. how can you be calm??!! I called my husband.. and he had to come home.
The bleeding stopped, and like 20 minutes later, he's out walking like nothing ever happened. We were waiting for Trey to get home. We went to the hospital and Jamie was only cooperative when they gave him a sticker! So they had to give him a sticker to get his temp.. put some gauze with ointment on it...etc.
He ended up getting 5-6 stitches, which came out a few days later.. In June.

A Breakthrough!
I know I haven't posted for a month and a half.. AHHH! Anyway.. something exciting happened today.. not only is Jamie getting over his tummy bug he had yesterday..
He initiated going to the bathroom! First he wanted his shirt and pants off.. then his diaper.. we went to the potty and he peed in the POTTY! What a breakthrough! I think that that is so cool. OH and he's only been training since November.. so I think this is really good!!!
This past month or so, it's been very busy. I tried signing up for a home based business.. that I could do from home. That was promising, but the company that sent me the check was bad and we had to freeze our bank accounts, etc etc. So that was all a big mess. Fortunately our old bank caught it, and didn't deposit the check.. so it's all OK.
Jamie still loves preschool and will go back again tomorrow. He LOVES to ride that yellow school bus!

New Beginnings
Well, Happy New year to you all! Hope this blog finds everyone happy, healthy, and most importantly, in good spirits.
On New Year's day, we got into a fender bender up the street from our house. Trey didn't see a parked police car, and hit it quite hard, shaving off our right front fender, entirely! We were all ok, but kinda like.. what a day for it to happen on. This delayed our arrival at the inlaw's for New Year's Day dinner. We got there okay though. We were able to drive it for I think 2-3 days before we could drop it off and get it repaired.
The Brady family is doing well. Jamie after his long break had no problems readjusting back to going to his special Preschool. From what his teacher says, he is signing Help and more more regularly, and that's great! He loves going to school.
Jamie started Primary the first of the year. His first week he had me stay with him. It was fine though.. it was a very big change for him to go through and he had to know it was ok, and this was his new class or routine. Last Sunday, Jamie isn't able to sit down for very long, so they needed my help when they go into Singing time into Primary (his 2nd week!) and I was able to leave a few minutes into the class time, and he was fine without me for an entire hour! Woo hooo! I was very excited about that.
We were able to get Jamie a new car seat and I really like it. He looks comfy in it and it is easy for us to use, which is important. This should be his last one he will need. :D
Oh today we got back our Honda Accord.. and it looks Brand New. They did a good job on it. It will be nice to have our car back. I can drive again with Trey..
Trey is pursuing a Master's degree in E-Business. The sad thing is that it's going to be on Sunday the same time as church :( The only thing we could do is go and have Trey drop us off at the church :) The good thing too.. is Trey will graduate when we have originally planned.. we'll have to see what happens.
Lots of News and lots of stuff going on. Will post more soon.

I can't believe it!
I know I've been MIA for a month.. Jamie's been enjoying school and the holidays are fast approaching. Jamie Signed Help!! That was exciting. This brings Jamie's vocabulary up to 3 words.. mostly signs, and the word no. He'll get there.
We got some blood test results from the Dr's office. Turns out Jamie is low on the protein 'Ferritin' that helps store iron in the body. So we will supplement him with iron drops so he can get those stores back up again. Hopefully the supplement will help him sleep better, and in turn, help his attention span.
Merry Christmas and Happy holidays. Happy new year!

A GREAT DAY!
I decided to start trying to teach him sign language again. I started with the simple sign, 'more'. Basically you put all your fingers together and tap them together. That's the sign for 'more'.
I started having him pay attention to what I was doing with his hands. I did the sign for 'more' and I had to prompt him a couple times. The third time, he did it!! He touches his fingers together, but It's a SIGN!!! I was so excited!!!
All I need to do now is to sign when I ask him if he wants 'more' of something, and he will do it!! We practiced all day yesterday!! What a great Day!!
Jamie loves the bus! One of his first days when we woke up late and he missed the bus..he cried and got upset!!! Poor guy! (We did drive him to school that day, though.)
He is doing so great! He is sooo smart! Hopefully he can learn another sign.. I am so excited!! That MADE MY DAY!!! Oh we had so much fun yesterday.

An Auspicious Day
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.
