I am so far behind I don't even know where to start. We have been so so busy, I have at least one appointment or meeting for West a week, and in between the meetings I am trying to work on the plans and objectives that West's OT and Developmental specialist have given me. We are seeing some improvements in West. He is starting to go to nursery without screaming and crying, which is a big improvement, but he is having problems being overly stimulated with light and sound, and his sleeping schedule is so crazy. He has a hard time with the sound of running water, the vacuum, and fans. They scare him and he just starts to cry. He is also very very aggressive with Alexis.
He is constantly pushing, hitting, or sitting on her. I honestly can't leave the room to throw a piece of garbage away, without him hurting her. It is hard to see, but when he comes near her, she starts to cry. I have tried so many different things, but nothing is working. Right now we are trying social stories, which are basically books that you write with someone's name in them and explain what they have to do in certain situations. Like "When West goes to sleep, West sleeps in his bed." I am really hoping that they will work.
Last night I woke up at three in the morning to West standing next to Aaron's side of the bed breathing really loud, talk about creepy. I told Aaron that West was by his bed and he about had a heart attack. I held West for a while and then put him back to bed. I laid down in bed and told Aaron that I would not be surprised if West came back in our room, I rolled over, and there West was, staring at me, I almost died. He was a ninja. I did not hear or see him come in the room, he must of followed me, what a goof ball he is.
In other news, I was released as the Relief Society President 2 weeks ago. That has reduced my stress level a lot. Alexis has also started to scoot, and she is giving the boys a run for their money.

Oh my gosh, I wake up with a "shadow child" in my room several times a week (Tyler) and it freaks me out every time! Did we do that to our parents??
That is hilarious, total ninja West. I miss you guys! Alexis's smile is so so adorable. How is Jack? Any fun plans for the summer? Thank goodness you were released, I still think that calling should be a "once per decade only". Ha ha.
The title of this post scared me for a minute! I'm glad things are getting a bit better for West, here's hoping the books help more!
That story is hilarious and oh my goodness- Alexis is adorable!! :)
