Ellis is going to have  is adenoids out and have tubes put in his ears on May 5th. I am a bit nervous about this but I hope and pray that it will help him with his speech and his behaviors. Onone hand I think it can only help but no one likes to put their child through any more than they have to go through. 

I am also contemplating having Ellis repeat the 1st grade even though he will be 8 when school starts again or even better I am going to look into sending him to a school for autistic children (The Birchtree School).

He is still puttering along and making gains in the friendship area but I still struggle with taking him out into public places like the mall or sometimes even the playground if I know there will be too many people there. He gets overwhelmed easily.

I try to take it one day at a time and one mood at a time.
