Andrew's Prayer

Every night before bedtime we pray with Andrew. He always prays for mama, daddy, nana and sometimes he throws some other things and people in there. He's been leaving some stuff out lately so I thought I'd remind him.

Mama: Andrew, don't forget to pray for all your stuff.
Andrew: Ok. Pray for stuff. We love you Jesus, Amen

Jay and I proceeded to laugh hysterically and then thanked God for the blessing our little boy is. Lately he is so much fun to talk to. The better his language gets, the more creative the conversations get. Tonight we were watching football on tv and there was some commercial that had fire in it. Andrew asked Jay where the fire came from and Jay then asked him in return where it came from. Andrew said it came from a dragon. You just have to love the imagination of a four year old.
Life has been crazy lately. We've had evacuees at our church for 10 days now. That means that we don't hardly get to see Jay, since he's been heading up all of that stuff. They get to go home tomorrow. It has been a blessing to be able to minister to them, and have them minister to us in return. These people are pretty poor and yet we had a lady give our church $350 to thank us for everything. I can imagine that's probably pretty much all she had. What a testament to what Jesus calls us to do.
School is getting better for Andrew. He struggled a lot a first but now has an aid specifically for him and he seems to be adjusting better. I took him to Children's in Dallas last week and had him tested for autism again. The tests came back that he's not autistic. They labelled him PDD-NOS which means he has some characteristics of autism but is not. The lady told me that she felt his characteristics stemmed solely from his speech delay and that the better his speech got the less we'd see the autistic tendancies. So we're trying to get him as much speech therapy as possible.
Me and baby are doing pretty well. I have another doctor's appt. next week, but it's just a routine check up. We won't find out the sex of the baby until the end of October.
