JenniferApril has a lot of exciting things that happen in our world! April is Autism Awareness Month and specifically, April 2nd is World Autism Awareness Day. (Don’t forget to wear blue!) April is also the Month of the Military Child and many times Easter falls in April as well!
We also went downtown and participated in the Final Four events that San Antonio was hosting during that weekend. He got a cute little basket from his Nani and Popo which included his current obsession, Pokeman cards. He’s gotten so many cards that we bought a binder with clear sleeves for his cards. He can pretty much name every Pokeman created.
Zion had a great Easter. We had a really, really busy Easter Weekend so we bounced all over the place. He did an Easter egg hunt at my sister’s subdivision and we ate Easter dinner with the family.
During this time, Zion participated in Olympic Fiesta. It is an event that is put on by the school district. He was in a general education Pre-K class, but he was also attached to a Autism PPCD (Preschool Program for Children with Disabilities) unit, which participated in Olympic Fiesta. I am a Special Education teacher, so I have kiddos that participate every year, but this was the first time Zion got to participate. He participated in running the 25m dash and doing the ball toss. I was really excited for him!
Thank you so much for all the support! I am excited that I get to spend the month of April celebrating my military child, as well as Autism Awareness. Zion is truly a special kid and I love that I get to learn from him every single day! We will see y’all next month!
