A little follow up...

I can't believe I forgot part of my

"hat wearing" boy pics!

He LOVES birdies.

Watching them, chasing them and especially feeding them.

This is probably his most favorite chore of all!

I know that this post was not fun and easy to read.

But this is the truth about our life as a family.

It is not all fun and definitely not easy.

When I share our stories it is

1. A type of diary for me.

2. A way for family and friends to feel a connection to us.

3. A way for me to vent.

4. When I know that others share the same struggles as us, I feel a sense of connection. 

I am not afraid to share our struggles and get advice from others.

Hopefully I can also be a positive influence in helping other parents know they are not alone in their daily challenges.

What I forgot to mention in that post was that

Trent loves loves loves his brother.

Although there has been big change in his life with

a little less one on one time and attention,

he has never once taken it out on his brother.

He showers him with hugs and kisses.

Wants to help in all the care giving.

And protects him like a big brother champ.

We are very proud of how well he has taken on his new role.
