Well K has made some progress in the potty arena. Few weeks ago, she finally peed in the potty! She's gone a few times since then but is still very strigent in going in her training pants. She has since informed me that when she turns 5 she will wear underwear. I also started her in therapy last week. I really like this Dr. and hope that she can help us get through to K and her control issues and help her "loosen" up a bit on life. I do have to say K has been improving socially in the past few months. She's gone up to kids at the playground that she's never seen before and having an almost converstation with them and playing with them. She also played with some friend of mines children for the first time in like 2 years. We go over to her house for LLL meetings like at least once a month and see them at other times and she never conversed with them until the other week. Both me and my friend were both shocked at this development.

Just plain sad http://www.timesargus.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070924/NEWS01/709240344/1002/NEWS01

What makes it even more sad is that the mom wanted to delay and the doctor pushed scare tactics into her. This so infuriates me. What is so wrong in wanting to wait to vaccinate, but no we got to push so many when they are still so young and their bodies still developing.

Just UGH....

what wonderful ingredients, I especially love the little touch of arsenic added. I still wonder if the vaccines K got somehow messed with her brain :(

K had so many fits past few days, I cant' even remember what they were about anymore! I do remember one and I ripped in half a big piece of paper for her to draw on like I always do, and well I didn't rip it evenly enough and well she had a fit. She refused to draw on it, it had to be perfectly even. (newsflash K, i'm NOT PERFECT!!!!!!!) aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh

Program backfires- total understatement

You know I'm not even an "expert" and I could tell you that could have happened. How very sad :(

Well got back from Chicago the other day. It was fine, nice getting away but boy was it exhausting! It was nice sleeping alone though and not having a snoring husband or a squirmy toddler waking you up. Some of the sessions I attended were duds, others were pretty good. Have to say my favorite was Jack Newmans, and Linda Smiths. They both are great public speakers.

Anyways girls missed me and it was great to see them again. Megan when she first saw me was a bit confused I think. Then when we sat down as daddy was searching for the car, she stood there staring at my shirt, lol. I knew what she wanted, so I asked and she nursed like crazy. It was good since I was feeling quite a bit full at the moment.

Yesterday was such a rough day for me. K was just insanely crying and whining all day. My voice is coarse today from all the yelling/talking I did yesterday. It's wearing me thin for sure. I'm gonna start writing out all the things that set her off so I can have some example to give to the physchologists (if I ever get in that is)

This morning K wanted to draw w/crayons. I get out paper and crayons for her. I was in bath room and she comes running in crying hysterically. Couldn't understand why, she walked back to playroom crying still and I guess the paper fell on the floor and Megan was trying to give her another piece of paper but it was the wrong kind of paper (already had something on one side, she has to have both sides cleared) So I finally got her to calm down from that and then Megan started ripping the crayon and K flipt big time. I tried to get Megan to stop, then she did and k just couldnt' calm down. Then Megan got made and threw crayons on the floor. Then K cried even more about it.

I live for Chicago in two days! I'm so excited, can't wait to see Ina May!
