Oliver-

Oliver is my 7 year old, who is one of those kids they say was sent to teach you a lesson. He is smarter than most adults I know, knows how to push our buttons like that scene in Elf on the elevator, but can be the sweetest most loving big brother, and can be pretty funny too. After a challenging start to his school career, last year in 1^st grade he was diagnosed with ADHD along with ODD. Since then the pieces of the puzzle have come together and he is doing much better. He is into anything with a motor, building Legos, and again, pushing our buttons. More to come on his story, and reaching a diagnosis, and what we do that works.

Tegan-

Tegan is the three year old and whoever coined the phrase “terrible twos” clearly never met a “threenager”. Three makes two look like a walk in the park, a Sunday stroll, a float down a lazy river on a warm summer day. Three is not for the faint of heart. I am convinced her ears are on her head solely for decoration, her favorite pastime is making messes, and when she grows up she wants to be a witch. All joking aside, Tegan has accomplished a lot this year for being such a little kid. She was fully potty trained at 2.5, she went from her crib/ tent to a big girl bed, and she started school (pre-k), pretty impressive if you ask me. I’m hoping this year she will start riding more and start to be more independent with that.
