Is it possible to be proud of someone at the dentist? It must because I'm so proud of B yesterday. It's silly, but he did amazing. 6 months ago (his 3rd visit) he barely let her use a manual toothbrush on his front teeth. Yesterday, he alone let her get X-rays, let her clean his teeth with the automatic toothbrush really well, and finally let her scrape the plaque that had been building up at the bottom of his teeth. He also opened fine for the dentist. He was so happy, talked to her, and was so cooperative. She's great too - we have the same girl every time and she takes her time with him and is careful not to push him too far so he starts dreading it.
Now, we get to start all over with C in a little while...
Oh, and I guess this is a B brag day because his SLP gave him his new eval, and he's come up 12 points in his expressive communication since last year taking his delay from severe to mild moderate. He has come SO far. Strangers are actually able to understand him.

Wow! Go B! What an improvement. I'm so proud of you all!
W started soccer last night and had a good time. Lots of running. He was a little ball of sweat at the end. One of the coaches used to teach at his daycare so I think that helped him not be so shy and also listen better.

I took the day off since K's school was closed today. We're going to the awesome children's museum about an hour away with my mom. I get in for free through my work which is awesome
I'm back in the office today. Violet seems better, though she was awake for half the night. I've been up since 4:30 and I'm not sure how much sleep H got before that. Yay for not sleeping.
Poor Owen started crying when I picked him up from the after school care yesterday. As convenient as it is having it in the school, I'm not sure it's a good fit for him. I think I'm going to explore some other options.
I think I need to mark yesterday on the calendar, because both of my picker eaters had salmon for dinner!!!! Time to work that in to the weekly rotation.

I had a horrible nightmare last night that Lyla and I got the opportunity to go to Disney World but it was super last minute so I didn't get to plan anything. I was freaking out trying to pack everything we needed and just basically throwing stuff in a bag. I had very little Disney related attire!

I feel like I'm going to lose it. There's a situation at V's daycare that is making me consider pulling her. I'm really stressed about it.
Then last night MH was working and I kept hearing a banging noise. At midnight my alarm went off. I asked for the police to come bc I was freaking out but they didn't find anything. I brought both girls in bed with me and locked us in. Not an hour after that my mil texts that she is taking my fil to the ER so I need to find someone to watch the girls. S woke up for the day at 4:45 which has never happened and I had to call my brother who has never so much as changed a diaper and ask him to stay with them until mh got home. S was screaming for me when I left. Ugghhhh
I'm so sorry spaghetticat. I hope things improve soon.
I started a bullet journal and I'm really liking it so far. I have a million lists going in my head so it's kind of nice to get all these random to dos and plans for the future down on paper.

We had no idea it was raining until DH and H were out the door. Cue scramble for her uniform sweatshirt and umbrella. DH was parked on another street and had to sprint to get the car. Lots of commotion and they will be late. We'll find out if second graders get the same leniency on tardies in the rain as first graders...
I got some sleep last night! X still woke up MOTN and climbed into my bed, but G slept the whole night in her own bed! She's been waking up MOTN and having diarrhea for the last 3-4 nights so we both really needed the extra sleep. I hope her tummy troubles are better for now.

spaghetticat, that's so awful, all of it. I'm praying you get a break, my sweet friend. Life has been so hard on you
blane12, that's OUTSTANDING! I'm so proud of you both!
After being off for a week, A goes back to school. I'm excited for her, she really loves it. Her program is through the children's museum here, and they closed to update the galleries, so I'm excited to spend the morning there with C and see the changes. Last week was the busiest I've had in a long time, and I'm glad this one doesn't have as many obligations. But I've been eating like total crap and drinking too much, lol, so today I have to start buckling down and I already don't want to.

I'm having a difficult week. I just miss my Dad so damn much. Today, the owner of the company he worked for (and considered his second family), sent my sister a message saying what an amazing man my Dad was and how much all the guys miss him. They had stickers made as a tribute to him, and put them on all their trucks. Cue the tears. My Dad was such a humble man, he would be speechless over that.

I tripped and fell backwards on my sidewalk this morning when I was taking K's back to school pics. My hand and arm are so sore...I hit the back of my head but luckily not that hard. My screen protector and phone case are all messed up, my sunglasses are scratched and my older children might be scarred. We had already committed to a play date at the splash pad which was torture but luckily it's over. I plan to do absolutely nothing (but chase my giant baby around) for the rest of the day.
I'm missing my kids a lot, I don't know why this year is so hard adjusting. I think it's because it's Lil's last year before school and I'm feeling like I hope I made the right choice by working. I feel so guilty and like I'm about to cry all day. I just miss them.
Loco Coco, are you okay? Is it just exhaustion? I don't know if I missed you posting about a medical issue.
I'm guessing just csection recovery still? I don't know. I still make H come in with me so he was there and I got to the bed. I googled and am seeing maybe low iron, I forgot my pills yesterday but I took some just now. Showers just exhaust me still, I think.
Showers exhaust me too and I asked the doctor about the passing out feeling. He said pain, meds, and anxiety. It still happens to me occasionally. Hope you feel better soon!
