Night Fun

I watched the dvd it was great. You were very near where I live in Marion. I live 2 blocks from the railroad tracks Alex would love that. I recognized 78 near Schertz. Alex also did a great job fueling the car. Please send us more.

Alex seemed to enjoy the Fiesta party given by student council today during 3rd pd.
He even held the bat and swung at the pineda several times (with help). Mrs. Ory

Morning folks,
Alex had a good night. No seizures.
He was much easier to get up this AM and he had a big ‘hello’ for his grandpa.
He ate a good breakfast and is ready for the bus.
Hope you have a fine day.
Regards,

No trains last night so we had to watch the planes:

Self Portrait

Dad has a nice digital camera. He lets me use it to take self portraits. Not bad eh?



 

Bird Show

During Fiesta ( a great 10 days of clebration here in San Antonio) we went to the Bird Show. They make lots of noise!




 

Horseback

Just huggin my Mom while she signs me up for horseback riding.
















I go to the Saddle Light Riding center on the North side of San ANtonio near Retama Race track.







This is me on my horse Native. 

Warm morning

This morning I got up after a good night's sleep. I went to bed early and woke up at 7:15 AM. But after my bus ride to school I felt pretty tired.

SO the nurse called Mom and she brought me home.

Afte a quick stop at the golden arches I was pretty fired up. I played with Grandpa, Abby, Neal, did a puzzle, drank Coke and generally had a good time.

Then by 1 PM I was tired again. I wanted to nap and my drueling had increased.

But that pasted and now I am playing with the Sandpile in the drive way and watching the helicopters fly over.

Life is good.

Rainy Day

After weeks on dry days we got rain. But it was about 20 minutes West of is. So Dad and got in the car and did a little rain chasing.


Finally - RAIN! 

Sometime last year I stole Mom's umbrella. You can see that I was frustrated trying to open it. So now it is all bent and Mom has a neew one.


Rainy Thursday 

Dinner time

Sometimes Mom and Dad take me out for dinner. Tonight we went to the Outback. Dad and Mom get Prime Rib but I like the Mac and Cheese. I really like it when the waiter or waitress comes and gets my vup for a 'refill' of coke. They all seem to smile when they have someone clapping for them.



 

Wash Day

Whenever Mom will let me, I like to help with the wash. It just seems sometimes I put the dirt clothes in with the clean or move unwashed stuff into the dryer. Ooops.


Doing the wash 

School Day

Ms Betty helps me every day on the bus. I leave at 8:20 and get back around 4:45. I like it when we have to wait for a train.


On the bus with Betty

Firetruck

With the lack of rain, the fire department came by to check all the fire hydrants.
Awesome.


Wow, fire truck!

Train chasing day

Down comes the crossing guard 


A 2nd train 


Switching yard 


Train by the airport 


Watching trains 

Rough Night

Rough night. Lots of seizures.


Sleeping hard after seizure 

Planes

Sometimes after dinner Dad will take me down to watch the planes landing. But I have be be back by 8 PM for medicine and a bath.


Checking out the airport 

Me and Abby

Sometimes Abby lets me walk her up and down the driveway/ I'm not sure how much she likes it because she always tries to go back inside.


Walking Abby 

Cutting Thread

Many nights I go upstairs after dinner adn cut all of Mom's thread. I even get to do it at school sometimes.


Cutting Thread 

We had a good morning cutting yarn! He was cheerful and worked all class
time. Dianne Reser

Alex cut yellow yarn today for a long time. Thanks for sharing that he
might like that activity! Dianne Reser

Yes we have a three wheel bicycle plus a new adaptive three wheeler low
to the ground. I will check and see if he is riding it.

Cutting thread 

I am glad to have the suggestion of cutting thread. We can measure and
then cut in my class Thanks, Dianne Reser

We do the trike with Alex during APE. He likes to go as fast as possible, so someone has to hold on to the back of it and keep him under control.

P.S. Looks like you had a good time at the motorcycle show. I went on Friday

Seizure Day

Morning folks,

Alex will be a challenge today. Probably not a good day if any one his doing pre ARD testing.

We had a nice weekend. Lots of yard work. He liked scooping the dirt; cutting branches; using the hammer; all those guys things.

At night he pretty much is back in the sewing room cutting Marycke’s threads.


But last night he had 3 back to back seizures. It had been 8 days so we were expecting something bigger. However, he did not have any more.

This morning he was extremely hard to get up, fed and dressed. He will probably need lots of encouragement to get a task done.

Sunday at the TTM

On Sunday's Dad and I go the the Texas Trransportation Museum (TTM). They have a big train we can ride, over and over and over. Dad and I are Life Memebers.


Riding along at the TTM 

Inside they have classic cars and multiple HO train layouts. I like wathcing the small trains too. The Yardmaster's name is Alex also.

Even small trains are fun
