We are all adjusting to Makily being back in school. Doodles (aka Makily) is EXHAUSTED when she comes home. Monday she slept from about 6pm til 6am Tues. morning. I am sure it did not help that she had PT AFTER school that day too. She should have had speech yesterday after school but I cancelled it to give her a little bit of a break.
I am trying to juggle continuing her extra private therapies outside of school. Trying to make sure I have a way to pay for it. She is getting new AFO'S and they are supposed to come to the school to cast her for them in the next several days.
J has an appt w/Early Steps at 3pm. They are just doing an eval to make sure he is on target developmentally. It will be interesting I am sure. I think he is fine but we will see what the pro's have to say.
I have to go to Jenny Craig at 6:20, then my sisters want me to go to dinner with them but I am not sure how well J will do with that. He starts getting crabby about 7ish so we'll see how long he makes it.
As of last week I have lost seven pounds on JC. Wish it were more but I know they say it's better it comes off slowly. They do measurements too and I have lost EIGHT inches so maybe I am gaining muscle.
Nights have gotten rough around here. J used to CRY to be put to bed but now all the sudden he FIGHTS sleep SO HARD. I am going crazy. He just had another tooth pop through and that's when this night time sleep fighting began. I give him a dose of Motrin and teething tablets before bed but the last two nights that hasn't really helped. He is only napping 45 minutes to an hour whereas before he was napping twice a day for 2 hours so it's hard to get things done. He has started doing the "wake up as soon as you lay me down" thing and so that's surely frustrating for me. The Podee is helping but not always.
The picture was of Makily before school this morning. I was walking out and saw that rose was the ONLY bloom on our bush. (we are NOT the gardening type and I thought the poor bush was dead!) Anyway it matched her dress perfectly so I picked it, put it in her hair and sent her to school like that. She looked beautiful as always.

Congrats on the weightloss! Beautiful pic of the princess as well. Sorry about the sleeping thing. That sucks.
That is still great weight loss for ONE week! Also, you might want to try the "triple cocktail" for J. It's the only think that works for my son...
1 dose Tylenol (Motrin doesn't seem to help, don't know why)
Oragel on the gums
3 teething tablets
Good luck!
Youre losing weight and Im pigging out and watching movies. Now I feel guilty.
Makily looks so sweet. She is such a trooper. What a pace the kid has to keep up with!
