There is a lot going on in the Cliff household as of late.
Joey is in the 1st grade in the Autism classroom at Northview; he starts off in the "regular" first grade room and then transitions to his CIP classroom for the remainder of the day.
Joey is 6 years and 3 months old and is still not potty trained, does not know more than 1 color and can't count past 3. I know people always say "well it could be worse" sure this is true; but i still think this sucks.
Having a Son with Autism that can barely leave the house because of his flapping and squealing and the looks we get from strangers, trying to get Joey to do a simple thing like say "Hi" when someone says hi to you, a child that poops in his bedroom and then plays with it. Yes it could be worse; but when a good nights sleep is 5 hours these things make life pretty challenging.
Not only the challenges of raising a son with Autism, but finding the time to properly care for Molly, David and Abby makes life a little stressful most of the time.
Time to get the little ones to bed!!!
Your a great mom and he is lucky to have you!
