Busy busy busy

Life has been sort of busy lately. Or at least it seems like it anyway. Jacob is getting things wrapped up at Metro and preparing to transfer to Bellevue University. I am working on my class reunion committee, teaching a little piano, and working on Scentsy.
Shae is getting bigger and has his first tooth! He eats really well and actually ate some spaghetti over at my parents' house the other night. I had just fed him some banana oatmeal and was sitting down to eat my dinner. He kept reaching for it, so I gave him a tiny bite and he just kept wanting more! I guess he's not going to be picky like his brother, or his mom.
Joseph is doing very well with his reading and has 3 or 4 books that he likes to read to me and Jacob. We have a great occupational therapist that comes over every week or so and helps Joseph with some of his behavior issues. Sometimes, Joseph gets over-stimulated and stops using his words to communicate (i.e. screams and hits). I'm learning how to use different techniques to help him cope. Yesterday we started using a weighted vest for a little bit and it seemed to keep him calmer than usual. I have some sewing patterns to make my own since we are borrowing one from the school right now. I also might make him a weighted blanket so he can hopefully stay in his own bed all night. Joseph is also going to start preschool at the end of August after we get back from Utah.
All of the things that have happened since we moved into our apartment really makes me feel that we were supposed to move when we did. The school district has done so much to help Joseph already. He has more testing to go through before we know exactly what the diagnosis is (Asperger's or PDD). I am truly grateful for all the wonderful teachers that are helping us. I was really starting to feel like I was just a bad mother who couldn't handle my 3 year-old, but now I know that I'm not a terrible mother. I can finally hope that things will be just fine.
