This weekend was a tough weekend for Bubs. Just when we were getting along so well. I know that some of it has to do with the extra abundance of rain that we have been receiving but that is not an excuse for his disrespectful attitude. I have written before about Bubs getting upset and yelling "no" at the top of his lungs at me or his Daddy. Of ...
Day to Day
Confessions of a Mom
This is a blog that I maybe should have written a while back but didn't realize the importance of it... A year ago, I started the curriculum at ABCJesusLovesMe. I was excited to use the curriculum to the full extend starting last August. We were going strong until we realized how far behind Bubs really was in his fine motor skills and visual ...
Improvements
I talked to our OT this week about retesting Bubs, even though it is not officially time to. She and I both feel like he has made huge improvements over the past couple of weeks in his attention and focus as well as comprehension and vision. We want to know if these improvements are legitimate or if we still have more work to do in specific areas ...
God, Thank You
While working on our visual perception worksheets this morning, Bubs wrote on his shirt with a dry erase marker. (We use plastic covers on the worksheets so that they can be used over and over again.) If you have ever marked on your clothes with a dry erase marker, you know that it does not come out. I immediately sprayed it but knew that it was a ...
Looking Back
You know that list that you have of things that you want to ask God? Mine is pretty long actually. But one of the questions that I have is "why was Bubs my first born?" The reason why I wonder this is because there are so many things that I would have done differently if I would have known. I know that I have high expectations for our children, ...
Others See It Too
We spent time with family this weekend to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord. Bubs had a really good weekend. He enjoyed the time with family and all that that includes!Bubs just completed his 6th month in therapy. It was so encouraging to hear more than once "I can see a difference in Bubs." His uncle commented about how much stronger he ...
Remind me…
Yesterday was an AWFUL day for Little Bubs. Bad choice after bad choice occurred. At one point he jumped up and down screaming for 15 minutes outside trying to get control (sure glad we live in the country!!). I even tried to do a special activity, just the two of us, of making cookies to try and help curve the downward spiral. Last evening, my ...
Better
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 ...
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 ...
Here We Go Again
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 ...
