Birthday Pirate Bag!

We Got To Pet Stingrays! And A Shark!!

Late Night Snuggles with Mommy. He had a tummy bug.

I've been so busy lately! Back to school routines have been a bitch. Dealing Dechlans doctor a lot lately has also kept me busy as well. The reason we've been dealing with Dechlans doctor so much lately is because he has finally gotten an official diagnosis. She's been helping us with different resources and finding tricks to help him as best we can. She had thought he had ADHD but upon more observation she has diagnosed him with Mild Global Developmental Delay. What that means is that he isn't developing at the 'Normal' level that he should be. She has assessed that he is about 24 months delayed. Now we're fighting to get him the proper support at school. It's a very frustrating process.

We also had a wonderful visit from my brother! He came for Dechlans birthday. It's hard to believe that my baby is already 5 years old. It was a complete surprise for D. He had no idea his Uncle Chris was coming to see him. He was only here for 5 days but it was great. On his actual birthday we had a fun filled day. We went to the Disney store. They do this very cute ceremony every single morning. They get the help from a child to use the big Disney key to open the store. Once it's all done, the child gets his own miniature key. Dechlan simply loved it. He had so much fun. He was given gift certificates from a family member so he got to pick out his own toys. His Uncle Chris bought him a ton of toys and movies. He was so spoiled! They gave him a little button that said Happy Birthday Dechlan and even put him name up on the screen. He just loved it! Then we went to Starbucks where he got some juice and him and I shared a pumpkin scone. Then home to Skype with all the Grandparents. We then made our way to the movies to go see Paranorman and Mucho Burrito. He had so much fun. Once we got home, he got to play with all his new toys and have dinner. I made his favourite, rice, coleslaw and Rainbow Trout. He was so surprised when he saw his Pirate cake. Overall his birthday was great.

Sunday, Nick and Chris went to see a movie while I baked cupcakes for Chris' birthday. And Monday we went to the Zoo. It was a beautiful day. It wasn't busy and we had a ton of fun. Sadly we had to drop Chris off at the airport that night.

So I should be back to regular blogging.
