Tonight was the 2nd night that Squeeks didn't go to bed till around 11pm. I really hope that she isn't up at 5am again! I have no clue why she is staying up and sleeping so little. Our kids have always been 12hr a day sleepers. Today I refused to give her a nap in hopes that she will sleep all night long. I really need some sleep myself!! Us both being tired is a recipe for disaster. I can't do many more days like that.
Well, Squeeks has been wearing a weighted vest and we have been doing the brushing therapy for a few days now. Already we have noticed a decrease in things being licked or put into her mouth, including the binky. She even has fallen asleep without a binky! Can't believe we are seeing improvement already. The vest seems to help her stay a bit calmer as well. However it isn't practical to wear all the time, especially when we are out and about. She does seem to like it though and it does help. I think I am going to attempt to make one. We'll see how that goes!!
Other two kids are doing great. Bubba is starting 1st grade math and finishing up kindergarten Language Arts. He is signed up for T-Ball but they have yet to call and let me know when practice and stuff will start. Excited to see how he likes baseball. Yesterday he built his first model of a Star Wars X Plane/Spaceship. He did it almost completely by himself and loved every minute of it. It is so much fun to watch him grow and take more interest in boy type things. He has been stuck playing with his sister and other girls his whole life so it's great to watch him become his own person with different interests.
Mo is doing good. Her reading and writing are progressing very well now that they are doing school on the computer. I love how well their program works with her vision disorder!! Especially since I am so busy with Kayla right now this online schooling is a wonderful fit for us at this time. Mo's Physical Therapy is also going well. I think that after her next evaluation we will probably decrease her appointments. So glad that her shoe inserts are helping and that her injury is healing! We have been on a 3wk break from OT so that we could switch to a therapist we feel works better with Mo. This was Mo's request which surprised me because she really liked the other therapist but I am glad she stands up for what she knows she needs. So now both girls will be seeing the same therapist for OT (once Squeeks is approved for ongoing therapy). I am excited about that cause I feel this is the best therapist for us. She is so full of knowledge and helps me understand things very well. I hope that one day I can get the hubby to go to an appointment and see for himself what I have been trying to explain. I think that will help him a lot, but until we can make it work with his work & school schedule he will just have to take my word and try to help the girls from that. He has been doing good on many things but he still has a hard time even understanding what this disorder is all about.
Well, I feel like I am just logging information with no end in sight cause I am just so tired that I am watching my fingers move, but not really thinking. I hope this isn't all over the place and actually flows/makes sense! I need to get myself to bed!!! Goodnight!
