12

Last night when Trent went to bed he was 11. This morning he woke up -- 12. I'm not sure he could be more excited?Dad left for work... then- there was a loud knock at the door & WA La- a bike was there!
Trent's birthday wish had come true!
He immediately took it for a spin around the cola sac & nearly got hit by a neighbor pulling out of the driveway... oh boy.


never a dull moment


This boy is so easy to love.

He is special in so many ways.

Yesterday we took him to a new doctor- a specialist at the U of U. It was amazing. In our two hour evaluation we learned so much more about Trent. About Aspergers, the adolescent brain, ADHD, turrets & tics, OCD, and what we need to do to keep on helping our guy. He is doing great & that's the way we want to keep it.





12 year old Trent loves:

cheese pizza - cake - riding bikes - scouts - playing with friends - doing hard 1000 piece puzzles- Lego's - hugs - technology & computers - his big brothers & sisters - and getting birthday cards in the mail... so far he has been extremely disappointed by getting none. (He checks EVErY DAY. If you know him please send him one!!!)

What I love about Trent: He is very honest & literal (which is great for a mom & sometimes funny) he loves to hug me, he is a great whistler, he is a good brother, he helps me with the computer & hooking up the dvd player etc.

I love you Trent!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

  1. Happy Birthday Trent! I love hearing the stories your mom tells. I love seeing the ig box you liked to sleep in a few months ago. I love your new bike. I can't wait to hear more stories about you.

    Watch your mailbox. I'm sending you a card and it should be there on Monday or Tuesday.

  2. Score on the new bike! Poor Whitney is riding a bike that looks about 4 sizes too small for her.
