Antics of Monday Morning

After four days of no school today was very stressful for some reason for the kids. I am not sure if it is because they know that school is almost out of if it is the weather but they were in rare form this morning. Kalie woke up in a mood and needing extra attention. We sat in the rocker and did brushing for about ten minutes to get her to reality. Then Douglas started in with the lights and his helicopter being missing. 30 minutes later and it was John Michaels turn. He is not as easy to calm down as he other two so this took time. We started with deep pressure and wrapping him tight in a blanket and ended with brush therapy. I think that by the time I got them to school they were doing great. But oh what a morning it was.

Lets hope that when I pick them up that they are okay..

Today is a busy day for us, I have a dr appointment this afternoon to have my ankle checked from my fall last November. We are doing an MRI to make sure it healed properly. Keep your fingers crossed. I am not looking forward to the possibility of surgery to repair it.

JM has a bad day at Church- one step forward, one step back

Yesterday was not a good day for John Michael at church, he was so overly excited all day long and nothing I could do would calm him down. He got in trouble at Sunday School, Kid Jam and then again at Mission Friends. He just could not seem to center himself no matter what any of us did.

I tried joint compression, deep pressure and even quiet time. The only thing that got him settled was putting him to bed. He went right to sleep and woke up a different child. He was great at school today. IN fact his teacher was very impressed with how well he was behaved.

So one bad day equals one really good day. One step forward, one step back.

We also did his parent teacher conference today. I was very happy with the results of his progress in class and how far he has come this year. He is writing his name, knows all his letters, numbers and shapes. So all good news on that front.

His teacher thinks he would do well in Kindergarten but that I should separate him fro the other two and maybe all three should be in their own room. But that is a different topic all together.
