Seth is in school!!!!

Well, I just dropped a very happy little boy off to school this morning....Mommy is happy because Seth is happy!! He has been there for over an hour and no phone calls yet so I am praying this is what he needed. We know that some of the behavior we have struggled with over the last couple of weeks has been because Nathan, Kaytlin and Maiah all get dropped off at school in the morning and poor Seth rides home with Mommy sad and angry not understanding why he can't go as well. Not a good way to start to the day:(

Anyway, the more English Seth learns and the more he is able to communicate his thoughts, feelings, likes, dislikes etc....the better things are getting for all of us. He and Maiah are doing well, it warmed my mothers heart to see them playing and laughing together yesterday. There is a bit of competition going on between them that is not really healthy. We are working through this with both of them. Seth is also bonding well with Nathan and Kaytlin.

As for Derek and I, we are taking it one day at a time. We certainly feel that Nate, Kate and Maiah have been at a loss the last few weeks as Seth has been so demanding, requiring constant attention. I have shed a few tears out of frustration and exhaustion this past week but am really hoping that prayer, school and pure unconditional love will begin to overtake our sweet Seth. We trust that God has a plan for him and that we are part of that plan and that God is going to see us through this season of transition for Seth. We are thankful that His mercy and grace are new every morning......

“Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning” (Lamentations 3:23)

Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers.....
Stacy
