twenty-one

 THREE! Alexander turned three in November.  As you know from my previous post, this means he aged out of the State of Illinois Early Intervention Program.  The program which introduced us to the most beautiful ladies who delivered the most amazing therapy to our Alex.  On his third birthday, the 7 (yes SEVEN) hours of therapy Alex received per week ended.  Just like that, it was all over.  Because of COVID, those therapy sessions were still happening via ZOOM or in a very safe manner (usually outdoors).  We were unable to have a "traditional" exit meeting to discuss Alex's progress and just how far we have come.  We were unable to hug those ladies who brought us so far and made such a difference.  But, we did meet them at the park and enjoyed a socially distanced play date so we could give them a good-bye/thank you gift.  Those ladies have become a part of our family, and my goodness do we miss them, their love and their beauty.  Every day we miss them. As I am sure you
