Art Show & Updates!

We had Atreus' art show on December 2nd and it was a great success. Seeing so many people come together for our son was a real blessing. We were able to raise enough money to cover therapy for about 3 months. It was so amazing! We spent the evening talking about Atreus, looking at artwork, holding raffles, having a bake sale, and having wine! It was a perfect night and Atreus was on his best behavior.







I should have more pictures on the art show soon and I will get them up as soon as possible. Thanks to all of you who made this night possible for us.


Update On Therapy
One of our therapist did not work out so we are now in the process of hiring a new one. We got an email from a woman who is in the process of relocating from Phoenix to Portland who is very interested in being a therapist when she gets here and she has a lot of experience so as soon as she is settled we will meet her and see how she would fit into our team. Keep you fingers crossed! Our main therapist is pictured with Atreus at the art show above and she is absolutely wonderful. She has made such a difference in our lives.

Update On School
Atreus is doing amazing in school! He has made a friend and his teacher tells me that he is a rock star everyday when I pick him up. Apparently he is not being aggressive at all and is following directions and participating in everything. What a wonderful thing to hear! Unfortunately when it is time to go home we only make it as far as the flag pole outside the school before Atreus does meltdown because he wants to go back to school and play. I absolutely love that he enjoys school that much!
