Life Right Now -- Feb 25, 2009

I am a 24 year old single mother of 3. My 4 year old son, Alex. My 3 year old niece, Katie. And my month old nephew, Aiden. My life is crazy at times but very rewarding. My sister is unable to care for her children so I have had my niece since she was 9 months old and my nephew since the day he was born. She has 5 children and is adopting Aiden to me but Katie is still undecided to what my sister is planning on doing.I don't work right now because I was just fired from my job that I have been at for the past 5 years and haven't been able to find a new one yet. So I am a stay at home mom for the first time and for the time being. My children are my world so I am loving it right now. I need to find a good man that has the resources to let me be a stay at home mom permanently and is great with the kids but that has yet to happen. :)Alex is my smart little warrior. He is a very determined child but is extremely lovable and compassionate. He is a great older brother and really loves his younger siblings. He is in an early childhood program 4 days a week where he recieves speech and occupational therapy. He also recieves speech and occupational therapy at the CP Center (cerebral palsy center). He was diagnosed with autism in July 08, and has made so much progress in the past 7 months. It's amazing to see how far he has come and I can't wait to see how much more he accomplishes in the future.
Katie is my awesome little princess. She makes me laugh all the time. She is a very caring older sister who loves both of the boys. She was diagnosed with fetal alcohol effects last month but I have suspected for a while. She will be starting occupational therapy at the CP Center and I am in the process of getting her evaluated for special education services through our school district, so hopefully she will be able to start school soon. I think being around other children in a structured environment will do her alot of good. I also cannot wait to see how much she accomplishes with the help of therapy and school.
Aiden is my littlest prince. He is a month old and I couldn't ask for a better baby. He is content most of the time. He loves to just look around and evaluate his surroundings during his waking moments. He is very curious and unlike most little babies he loves to take baths. He hated the sponge baths when he first came home from the hospital but loves tub baths.
