These are super old from September,but I will get caught up eventually!

Seen, Heard and Believed

Noah is doing so great lately! He still has his moments,but better understanding what Sensory Integration has really changed our lives. I finally understand what is bugging him to death, and just what kind of physical needs he has. I still haven't been able to "quench" that demand for the muscular sensory seeking,but we are certainly on the right track. All is looking up in his little world.
Riley had an issue with another kid at school who has been calling him names and has actually hurt him a few times (once led to stitches in his head!) Luckily, the school takes it as seriously as we do and are taking the appropriate measures to keep my little B happy. I know that there is an old school way of handling bullies. Hitting back, or just saying "boys will be boys" doesn't solve anything. Happily, my husband and I are not in that frame of mind and have chosen a progressive school that ALL kids can flourish in. I feel bad for the kid, he obviously has some issues he needs help with and hopefully, his parents will follow through with those needs. All I know is, MY kid was thrilled to know that we all had his back and that he would never have to play with that kid, EVER!
Bottom line is children should be seen,heard and believed.

2011 Goals

Deny myself drive thru's
Do a bible study
exercise
CALL my friends on the phone- not just text
blog

Try and do one of the above everyday

I haven't blogged in forever, and kind of miss it. I post on FB random stuff but I figure this is the perfect place to talk about anything and nothing.

Right now we are waiting for next week to come so we can talk to Noah's psychologist to see whats going on in his little body. We have always known he had a little "extra" in the tank, but its starting to affect him at home and with his relationships with other people, so we are intervening. We have seen multiple specialists, from child development, speech and occupational therapist, to a clinical psychologist. Everyone is so so nice and helpful, but we aren't really getting anywhere with WHATS NEXT?

Hopefully, next Tuesday we will have a "game plan" in place. What types of therapy he'll need and how we can accommodate that. All seems to be going in forward motion and we are happy with what we have access to.

Our lives are a little topsy turvy, to say the least, but somehow we are all maintaining. Noah's little smile and kisses make up for anything that may come our way (like a 4 lb weight he threw at me during our workout, or the remote in the fan:) Honestly, I think I may start posting some of the crazy stuff that goes on here, bc reading it gives me some comic relief!!


I'm off to try and catch the nightly news and get all this peanut butter off my shirt!
