Here is a photo of Alexis in her new Princess toddler bed...she has settled into it quite nicely. She has slept thru the night since introducing it to her Friday February 12/10.
Alexis turned 2 in November, some may think what is the big deal? a 2 year old out of the crib, but our Alexis isn't your typical toddler...Alexis has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is the result of a neurological disorder that affects the normal functioning of the brain, impacting development in the areas of social interaction and communication skills. What this means to our family is that Lexi is going to require extra help for language and communication. She has been enrolled in school since September 2009, and will have ongoing speech/language therapy and specialized services to help her achieve all her milestones.
I wanted to create this blog to record all of the wonderful achievements that we have in store for us with our amazing little girl. She is a gift to our entire family & all of the wonderful friends that have had the pleasure of meeting her. As for the blog address http://www.gingersbestfriend.blogspot.com/ that little red headed lady pictured with Lexi is her best friend Ginger that she takes with her everywhere. I truly am amazed at Alexis' development and changes even in the last few months and look forward to what this next chapter brings.
Good job creating this Char...Lexi has her own cheering team only door steps away.
