The Long Awaited Summer PT 2

This will be at least 5 things that Brayden is extremely excited about for summer to be here. 

Starting with ....number...
1. Brayden has counted down the days for some more in the past three weeks than he has all year. Brayden has struggled with school this year. Not academics you speaking but then again he did. Because of his diagnosis Brayden is highly intelligent but struggled with focusing. He A) already knew the work and became extremely bored. B) he couldn't focus to do anything and became frustrated because he wanted to do his own thing. With him struggling this year school has been hard on him on some days. So he is more than excited to not have to get up early because he has to go to school. But he's my early bird so he's  looking forward to just being able to get up not have to worry about school for a few months. 

2. Swimming. Brayden is very fond of water. ( yes we as parents know drowning is one of the leading causes of death in autistic children. Don't worry we are on top of things. We have instilled in 
Both of our kids that no one, I mean neither one of them are aloud near the pool unless there is an adult present to watch them swim. Brayden knows if he wakes up in the morning before me he is to come get me up. He knows if him or sissy are caught near as meaning in the deck fixing to jump in without an adult. That mom will put a knife to it.  This is something that before summer hits we preach it to them. Neither one has ever got caught near or in the pool without any of us around) 


3. 

Brayden too is looking forward to playing baseball, for him he is still in T-Ball. This is his third year playing t-ball as he's played since he was actually 5 years old. If that makes since, if not I will break it down for you. (5 years old-1st year, 6 years old-2nd year, 7 years old-3rd year) However, the first two years he played I can say for an organization in the town as I say above our town but the town that is like 10-15 minutes north of us. This year he asked if he could play in the town we live in so that he can play with friends.  So that's what he's doing and he seems to be more excited this year especially after finding out the other night that weather permitting he starts practices this coming Tuesday which will be tomorrow.  

4. Before saying the fourth one; here's a disclaimer. My children gets a lot of outside time. We make them go outside a lot during the summer and sometimes even if they don't want to because we know they need some sun. Unless you know if they were sick. With that being said he's excited that he gets more game time. To play the Xbox, Wii, and to watch you   tube videos on the computer.  So he's excited for that as well. 

Finally, last but not least, as well as could be hard to think of. But....

Number Cinco

He's excited and looking forward to our annual trip up north. Usually this is for Rys eye doctor appoint that is 2 and half hours away. If you are wandering why we travel two hours for the doctor especially just an eye doctor. I will soon make a post and follow up on why. But he's excited for this because he LOVES "living" in a hotel for a few weeks. As well as for the last four years this one being the fifth year doing this; every year we have went Nana has bought them a build a bear. 

Well that's what Brayden is looking forward to this summer. Are Your children looking forward to anything this summer?

Don't forget to check out part one to find out all of what Ry is looking forward to as well as come back to find out if anything for the summer excites me. 

Catch y'all later  .
