Last Sunday Ashton turned 11 years old! He celebrated the day with his buddy Chase playing at the park, going to California Tortilla and eating his favorite oreo blizzard ice cream cake! He got lots of nice gifts from friends and family, including a "real cell phone".
Life with Ashton is never dull! I feel like there are constantly little fires everywhere!!! I put out one fire, and before I have put out that fire, he has started another fire. I think he is beginning to realize that his brain is created differently. I can see that he has begun to question why God has created him this way. All I know is that he is fearfully and wonderfully made and that God makes beautiful and perfectly imperfect people! I hope the truth of God's design and unfailing love seeps deep into his body, mind and spirit, because some day's it feels like he only get feed the negative.
This week was my spring break and I wanted to do something with Ashton to "fill his tank". I feel like we take so much from his love tank due to his behavior, I wanted to do something special with him. Originally we were going to try to go the Baltimore Aquarium, but we settled on doing a high ropes aerial course instead. We had a great time, but man I was sore!!!
