Midnight meltdown

Princess took a nap. She snuck away and took a nap. If it was up to me I would super glue her eye lids open during the day! If she naps as little as 20 minutes she is up for 3 hours longer than I would like her to be.

So in the middle of putting her to bed she woke her brother. GREAT! Thought he would for sure go right back to bed since I kept him up late. Not the case. He had major sensory issues and wanted his head touched for the entire time. He cried when I stopped, cried when I did anything that would take me hand off his head.

NUTS!

Prince has never done anything of this sort.

We are now tossing in bed. He can't get comfortable. I brought them both. To bed in hopes of sleep.....

This night will continue

Silence

Not in this house!
With 2 dogs and 2 kids it is never dull.
Prince is trying to babble. He tries hard but nothing forms. I am trying to keep quiet and patient and just talk to him as I always would and have. I get no answer in return. It is so hard. I am trying to teach him sign language. He picks up on some of it. Princess really wants to learn sign language as a way to help her brother. She gets frustrated as well. I feel bad for them both because they are somewhat close but yet all the frustration.

Oh how many times a day I want to pull my hair out!

We took a journey to the library today and the kids had fun! Prince ran around and flashed everyone his cute smile. That always works even for the old men! Speaking of old men... One tried to get political on ME! I feel that I am the least political person on this earth. I nodded my head and smiled. Princess on the other hand "mommy what's this" "mommy what's that" through the entire branch. We got Talking Hands DVD and some budah book for her. We will return each on Friday.

Over all an eventful day. I still need to get my house clean!

Wordless Wednesday

Sewing: Crate Pad

SO as I stated before I got a sewing machine and I made a crate pad for the dog. They are usually about $10 and I made it for $6. It was without a pattern and my first project since high school. Not bad but I surely can't sell them!!!

I got my fabric from Joann's and it was in the left over section!!! It worked for want I wanted to do!!!!

Diaper Rash

My little Prince has had a crazy diaper rash! I really felt bad for him but I was not really sure what to do about it. Granny says aloe plant and then there is diaper rash cream. Any mommy that has a child who has had diaper rash knows that baby's do not like baby wipes. Well I have found something that works well on his little butt.

They are Target brand Lanolin wipes. They leave a layer of the lanolin on his butt as a barrier. They clean and leave lanolin! I can't ask for much more!

He doesn't fuss and the rash went away!

Live and Learn

So Prince had another hearing test on Friday. I thought for sure that everything would be fine. Especially since we had done the same test September 2nd. It was the test where they sit him in a room with earphones and make sounds. The only difference is that the test on September 2nd, they did not put the earphones on his ears. This time he didn't do so well. He did not have any response to the earphones that were in his ears. NONE! When they took out the earphones and transferred it to speaker he did fine. SO now we have to get a bear test. They have to put him to sleep with a special medicine and test his hearing with stickers on the back of his head.

This was not what I expected at all. I thought for sure he would pass it and then we would go on from there as to why he only says 3 words at 21 months. He has a speech eval on Monday so we will go from there.

On Thursday he went to see an allergist because I wanted to know what he is allergic to for several reasons. They kids both get rashes from sauces and fruits as well as anything sour. It is the acid. Prince is not allergic to anything. He has very sensitive skin though. Much better than a laundry list of allergies! Also they are saying that he has been over medicated and his asthma is not as bad as they say. Which is good... I think?

The allergist also sent a referral for a ped GI (tummy doctor) as well as to get his sinus' x-rayed. We will see what all that pans out to be.

So far I am hoping for the best. I just really want him to talk. The communication is rather hard. He bites, kicks, and does many mean things out of frustration. We will find something out Monday, hopefully.
