We have teeth!
Derek had a new tooth erupt late last week, and the 2nd is pushing through today! Looks like he might get them in pairs like Logan did. So far he doesn’t seem to have ear issues with them, which is great.
He can almost sit on his own, loves to sit in his bumbo or boppy pillow. And LOOOOOVES to bounce around in his exersaucer or walker. He is now eating 2-3 solid meals a day and is still nursing like a champ. Nights are at least becoming consistent with him usually only waking once around 4-5am. He ends up sleeping with me until we get up for the day after that.
Logan had the first part of his evaluation yesterday and I will go into more detail in the autism blog, but it went well. It was obvious to all of them he will be diagnosed with at least PDD, probably mild classic autism. I have filled out the inventories they sent home and the child psychologist will visit Logan here at our house sometime soon to finish the evaluation. We have our first IEP meeting on the 8th.
Mel is starting her final quarter in 8th grade. The 3rd quarter was a rough one, but she is shooting to do a LOT better this quarter and we have a lot of incentives in place. Hard to believe she will be in HIGH SCHOOL soon!!
I am still trying to quit my wedding coordinator position, but this is proving to be difficult. The pastors have been too busy to meet with me and get things nailed down for the transition and I worry that the girls that were interested have probably lost interest by now, or may be hesitant to get into a position with such slow communication (a big reason I am leaving).
The daycare is doing ok. I have 1 full time kid and 2 part time kids (less than 20 hours each). This is just right for now. I have had to take on almost all of Logan’s ABA therapy myself, so having fewer kids makes that more possible right now.
We can’t wait for spring and are already gearing up for summer camping!!
