Arek has lost his first baby tooth and we believe he swallowed it. about a week ago Arek started saying his teeth hurts. We were surprised to see his tooth was loose. He wiggled it around but not as much as we expected. Having Autism and sensory issues he is prone to obsessively play with things. We are so excited he is actually talking so well. when his tooth fell out Arek told us that we need to get a new one. He is so sweet we told him a new one would grow.

Arek lost his first tooth
Saturday, August 8th, 2009Family update
Saturday, August 8th, 2009It is now August and the family is once again living in Chicago land. we find ourselves in Lombard Illinois. We are now paying just about 6 times the rent we were paying at Oaklawn apts. in Canton Illinois. we are still on the same limited income as before only now we have lost our vehicles, we are on a tight budget. the children are doing ok. I would say Lauren is adjusting to the neighborhood and has managed to make friends. she had to loose out on the remainder of her track season in Canton. She was upset about this but is adjusting as she has no choice in the matter. Arek attended school for about a month before the school year ended. In the short time period he actually went on the potty not consistently but he did begin the process of being potty trained. Arek is talking much more and it is an exciting time as far as his development goes. Brett is doing well, he being 13 is bored most of the time. Allissa and Amanda are now mostly potty trained and developing well. Lisa is doing good as well. We still are fighting the discrimination case against our landlords at Oaklawn apts. Now it is being investigated by the dept. of Human rights. All in all our family is hanging in there and attempting to enjoy life as it is. More detailed updates are soon to come it is late and when i next find the time i will update.
