Memories: Dustyn and I

Filed Under: Family, Photography

I was taking some product photos for Hot Mama Gowns and had out the tripod. Well Dustyn came over and said he wanted to take some photos. So I let him use the remote and take some photos of himself. Then he asked me to join. I said okay. Dustyn starts telling me the faces he wants us to make. What did I get from this quick 5 Minute fun photo shoot? Memories and some great ones.

I have really been struggling lately to parent him. Seems like all I have been doing is getting mad at him. It was really nice to have fun with him and always remember this sweet time.

In other news about Dustyn. He was accepted into our local Pre-K program at school. I am kind of nervous. It is 7:30 to 2:15, 5 days a week. This is going to be a big adjustment for him and I. It will be nice to have that time to focus on Carsyn, but it is going to be weird not having him home.

I really hope the school will be able to start some Occupational and Feeding therapy. I have had the hunch that he has some sensory processing issues for awhile, but they have really come to light the past couple weeks. I am anxious to get him evaluated for SPD. I guess I was focused on Carsyn and his special needs that I was hoping Dustyn was just being a boy. In the back of my mind I HOPE nothing is wrong with him and he is just being a boy and trying to get attention.  So please pray for me as we go through the process of figuring out what is going on with Dustyn. Thank you all for your continued support through this all.

Come back tomorrow for a ebook & actions giveaway from Rebecca Cooper at Simple As That.

  2. Such sweet photos of you and Dustyn. I love the one bottom right. I'm sure you both will be fine. No need to worry... worry is like paying a debt before it's due. WIshing all the best. http://www.classicmemories.com/dvd-slideshows.html

  5. It looks like you had a lot of fun with that remote! I used to do that lots with my son when he was 4. There were lots of giggles. I love your silly faces! So fun! And I will also pray for you as you navigate therapy and parenting during this time.

  6. I LOVE these Sarah!!! Beautiful, fun, and very natural shots that show the love you have for one another! I hope things get easier for you and the transition to the new preschool goes smoothly. It always amazes me how quickly kids adjust.... much faster than us adults:) Have a wonderful weekend. xo, Lisa

  8. What a sweet opportunity! I wish my son would tell me to take pictures with him.

  9. These are gorgeous. I am so sorry to hear things are a struggle right now. Praying for things to ease up.

  10. What beautiful fun shots! My best to you and the family, parenting can be a nerve wracking job but as I can see you have found that the little moments of joy outweigh the struggle. Then eventually you get rewarded with the biggest gift, grandchildren. :D Have a great weekend.

  11. Sarah, these are adorable of the both of you and beautifully processed! Oh mY! And I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers . . .

  13. Love these shots and the sweet memories of this day you will have down the road. Hang in there. Day by day. I am thinking of you and your sweet boy. It was good chatting about all of this with you and if you have any other speechie related questions I would love to help. Hope you can find a great provider and get him in for some evaluations to ease your mind.

  14. Such cute pictures! Good luck with the schooling and I totally hope Dustyn is just going through a stage of "boyness".

  17. Oh my, these photos are adorable beyond words. So special to have them in years to come. :) I'll be praying for you guys!

  19. Love these photos, I just had to come to the blog to look at them closer! He has the sweetest smile! Such fun memories there!! Hope everything is ok with Dustyn and it turns out to be something minor. You are a great mom and will know exactly what to do for him!

  20. I go through the same things with my kids. I always wonder if I'm missing something with Avery, because I'm so worried about making sure Lauren sees all the specialists/therapists she needs. I love these photos, Sarah!

  21. ohh these are such sweet shots! And I love the processing. I really love the two pics on the left of you guys giving each other a kiss. SO sweet!

  23. Watch out! Looks like you are going to have some stiff competition in the business :) I feel for you about the parenting woes. I feel very much the same what about my daughter. At her last doctors appointment we were told that her hearing was falling flat in both ears and was below normal range. We have to go in and re-evaluate, if they are flat again we need to see a specialist. Then this week we were told by our daycare that they want to bring in a speech therapist after summer holidays to have her evaluated. We thought she was doing so well too :( Add that to my son and his anoxic reflex seziures and lots of contractions this past week or so, we have lots going on with the kids! If you ever need someone to chat too, send me an email. Even if its just a 'you know what, today really sucked' kind of email. Hugs.
