Back at work.
J is still sick and my mom took him today. W is with my ILs for fall break and it looks like he got a touch of the cold. I just want to keep them on a steady antibiotic and antiviral cocktail drip so we can be done with constant kid sickness. That seems reasonable, right?

I am on board with this request for my kids, as well.

Just finished cleaning up our disaster of a playroom. Sat afternoon we had 3 yo twins over to play w O. He’s played w these kids before outside a couple times. When I wake him up from his nap and told him some friends came over, he acted so weird. He was clinging to my leg... O is NOT shy. Then he came into the kitchen w me and sat on the rug, refusing to go play w them for a good 30 mins. He also roared like a lion every few mins. I know I need to get over being embarrassed by his behavior but my lord. Finally I convince him to play w them and they ended up having a blast!

🍁 Happy first day of autumn everyone! 🍁 Kids are so odd sometimes cookswithwine. lol My sister was here over the weekend and it was so nice having someone else around to entertain A. I wish we had family that lived closer. Well, certain family members anyway. Ha. We're having roasted pork with apples and cider glaze for dinner tonight in honor of the changing seasons. And hey, it was only 82° today vs yesterday's near triple digits so it does feel a lot cooler. 🤣

I’m at the dr getting an iud to see if that will stop my bleeding issue, since I cancelled my surgery in July. Just need to be on the lookout for blood clots...

I would have scheduled it for next month!

My cruise leaves next Friday. I would have scheduled it for next month! my first time with it I only had like 2-3 days of light bleeding. Last time was a month period though. So fx you just have a little bit.

Hi all. I've had a rough few days. I know I was a downer last weekend with my post about B and his school and this goes along with it so feel free to skip.
the TLDR is B is struggling in school. more so than I thought.
So after everything I found out last Thursday, I get a message from B's teacher last Friday about chatting after pickup regarding his fine/gross motor skills. I had a feeling this was coming, as his fine motor skills could probably use some help, but he was making progress over the summer so I thought I would wait and see how school would help him and go from there. When I got to the school to pick up B, he was super confused as to why I was sitting and talking to his teacher. He started crying and sat on my lap and wouldn't get off my lap the entire time. I don't know if he thought he was in trouble or something and was embarrassed? Anyways, his teacher told me he couldn't pick up a pencil in class. Like, pretended like he didn't know how and when he did pick it up, he used two hands. He NEVER does this. In fact, he knows how to hold a pencil because we worked on it all summer and he does it naturally now. So that came as a shock to me. Then she went on to tell me that he doesn't really have any friends and doesn't speak, like ever. She said she doesn't even know what his voice sounds like aside from the occasional one word answers. This was a surprise to me. I know he is shy but I guess I didn't realize the severity of it. Last year, he was super shy but he eventually opened up and started really talking so I am hoping we just need to wait this out. He walks into school with a smile on his face and loves going. So I am really confused because if he dreaded school why would he be so happy and willing to go? So I have been spiraling on google about social anxiety disorder and it's possible he has an extreme case of that. Or maybe he is just shy and introverted. But he is a completely different person in school as he is at home and I don't know how to get him to be that person in school. Literally as soon as he sees me at pickup he starts talking a mile a minute. It just doesn't make sense. But we have an OT/PT eval coming up soon. I don't think he will need PT but we are just going to get it checked while we are at it.
I just want to help him but I have no idea how.

Oh waitwhat I'm sorry. I will say that as I was reading my mind immediately went to social anxiety. I really hope you guys can get this figured out, and then everyone else can see what he is actually capable of.

Thanks all! Interestingly enough, his ST called right after I posted that and we talked about changing his goals because she also agrees that he has some fear and anxiety in the classroom. But she assured me he will be fine and I have to remember last year he did eventually open up and made a little group of friends. I just have to be patient.

waitwhat I'm glad you were able to re-adjust his goals. One of my brothers was extremely shy in preschool and would only talk to my aunt when she was there (it was a high school preschool and she was in the class). He didn't say a word to anyone else. I don't remember all the details because I was a kid but he eventually opened up and it was fine.

Doesn't look good for DH to get home today. Normally I don't mind an extra day too much because it's good money (even though I sucks waiting), but he leaves again Tuesday so I really don't want to lose any extra days.
