It is 1am (for some reason the time shows up wrong at the bottom) I am so tired its not funny....yet sleep will not come. I am stressed....next Monday my Nomuken turns 4yrs old. I am not ready for this, I want her to stay 3 forever! I know its not possible, she is excited about her bday, and she is having it at McDonald's this yr. She saw another kid having their party there when we were have dinner there one time, and she got all happy asked if she could do that too. Well she is just too cute and she won, she is only little once right? There are only so many yrs that a McDonalds party is cool!
We are trying to potty train Gabe. This is not easy, he was trained all the way before his regression. Now we are starting from square one. So we are bribing him, big time......with legos, a huge set he picked. He has the picture of the set, he carries it with him at all times, we have the charts, we ask him every 5 min. We get the "are you nuts?" looks all the time, something about cheering for a 5yr old that pees in the potty is odd to some people. To me he is just a kid potty training, no matter the age they need all the positive they can get, he needs it more so. I guess all a stranger sees is a 5yr old peeing......
So the deal for him to earn this toy is to poop in the potty 2 times. We are also counting how many days he can stay dry. Yesterday was 2 messes.......today 2 as well. So far no poop in the potty. We will keep hoping, cheering and looking nutty to all the people out there if that is what it takes.
He had an "I hate the world" day as I call them. He was mad, well livid with me and Germ and Deze (she was there, the other 2 girls were in school) If we tried to talk to him we got told "I HATE YOU!" If Deze so much as looked at him he got livid.....their car seats are next to each other, he ended up in the van without shoes on, for Deze's safety. He kept taking them off trying to hit her, then trying to grab her to bite him....what does she do you ask? Funny thing there, she was spitting at him, laughing at him, singing louder when told to stop.....oh yes she knows how to piss him off and yes she thinks its funny.....and no she does not cry when he bites her. Its an odd relationship those 2 have, makes me nutty.
Deze had her first dental exam today, she did super. Sat there for 3 min before taking off in the middle of cleaning........they gave her a toy, a tooth brush and a pencil to get her attention. That worked for a min, then they turned on the light and let her play with the on and off button on it, she LOVED that! Good news is no cavities or anything like that....she does have too much space in there, so maybe braces in the next few yrs....we are going to start saving now, seriously!
Tomorrow brings a whole new day........of teachers meetings, drop offs and pick ups......paper work and just making sure the world keeps turning. Some days I think all I am is someone to keep the family on time, like a real live calender!
Makes me nuts.......some days a simple thank you would do wonders, some days an unasked for hug would be great.....and days like today a simple space on the bed to sleep while he stays up and plays xbox well into the night is all I need..........now off to get 5 hours of sleep and do it again, right after I add coffee to the shopping list for tomorrow!
