Discovering how to smile

Sweet and Innocent

My chubby little fat man. He has no problem eating. His love for eating is of course showing in the growing department. He changes so much each day it is amazing.

Duke is doing great. He loves going to preschool. When Duke was 2 he had his first autism evaluation. At that time the doctors gave him the diagnosis of Pervasive Developemental Disorder due to his age. Since he has been receiving therapy and has made great strides. March 3, 2009 he had a new evaluation. The doctors gave him the official diagnosis of being autistic. They were very pleased with all that we have been doing with him and were amazed by how interactive he was with them during the evaluation process. They said that he has quite obviously came a long ways in his progress and even though the evaluation doesn't show all of it he physically does. The doctors were able to give us some suggestions on what to continue doing and what to revamp. So the journey continues and so will all the amazing things Duke learns.

What can I say about Kasiddee or better yet what can't I say? She is a chatter box and she loves to sing. Kasiddee's rendition of Jesus Loves the Little Children is, "Jesus loves the kids, the pink and red and yellow ones." She has an ear for music. She can hear a song one time and sing it. If you are lacking in the conversation department just talk to Kasiddee she is never opposed to having a conversation.
