Brayden's got...well..Brayden's got a whole lot of somethin'



Brayden was happy he got to carry around a light saber. That's the bottom line of Brayden's Happy Halloween. Besides that, Brayden had his first great day of kindergarden and it just so happened to be on Halloween. Thank heavens it wasn't a bad luck day for him or his teachers! He has had a ridiculously difficult time adjusting to his new school schedule and he has manifested that in many ways frustrating us all but especially himself. Needless to say that my parent/teacher conference with Mrs. Balcar (who loves Brayden) wasn't nearly as fun as the ones with the other boys' teachers. We were all having a hard time figuring out how to help him but something happened and yesterday he had a great day. (it might have had something to do with the pain pill we gave him the night before for his tooth which helped him actually sleep. I check on the kids every night before I go to bed and Brayden is always laying there awake. He tells me that he can't make his brain be quiet. Sad huh?) I hope this is the wave of the future for our Brayden. It was hard for him and he struggles with so much; it's so nice to see a bright light of hope for the future in each of the little doses. We'll take them as they come. And we absolutely adore Brayden the way we got him.
