Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Deuteronomy 6:7

I am very thankful to say that Bubs has calmed down immensely this week. The divergent of company last weekend definitely helped. PTL!On Monday night, we took a walk as a family. It was bed time and Daddy and I wanted to get one more "lap" in. So, we explained to Bubs and Sweet Pea that we were going to walk one more time. They were supposed to ...

Earobics

Bubs has trouble with listening as well as distinguishing sounds. Our occupational therapist suggested the computer program "Earobics". She used it with her own daughter and had great success. After looking at it, I was sold immediately. This is a WONDERFUL program. Bubs spends 15 minutes a day using the program. The "clown" game plays different ...

Lacing Activity

03/12/2009 by Heidi

One of the activities that Bubs has been working on in therapy is lacing. Our therapist let us borrow the Alphabet Lacing Letters. I went on line to try and find something like it and found that these Lacing ABC Sweets are about the only of their kind. What I like so much about this activity is that Bubs has to lace, which is great for fine motor. ...

Full Moon Indeed

We are up to our armpits in rotten attitude and disrespectful attitude. Bubs is really struggling to stay in control and keeping his words loving. He struggled at therapy today with focus and diligent work. It has been a tough few days to say the least. Bubs continues to be very mean to his siblings at times. In some ways, I believe the ...

I have noticed that there are several behaviors that pop up at times when Bubs is struggling:- yelling- lots of crying- wants to constantly ...

Waking Up

03/04/2009 by Heidi

Bubs has been waking up between 9:00 and 11:00 p.m. almost every night for about two weeks now. He used to do this pretty consistently from the age of 18 months until about three and a half. Now it is back. I am sure that it goes along with the harder days that we are having right now as well.The hardest part is that he is inconsolable during these ...

Here We Go Again

03/01/2009 by Heidi

We knew that our "great" days weren't going to last forever. The signs showed that it would be over soon. Bubs has been waking up in the middle of the night just bawling. I truly believe he doesn't know why he is doing this but just can't stop. Bubs has been all over his little brother - just smothering him with kisses and hugs. Thirdly, Bubs has ...
