What a week.....This past weekend we celebrated our youngest child's 3rd birthday and Easter. The beginning of the week saw me with the stomach flu, and then the day before the party my husband got it! Since I was so sick on Tuesday, I had "P" stay all day (normally a 1/2 day for him) as I didn't think I could drive to pick him up. He stayed all day on his normal Monday and Wednesday, so that made 3 in a row. Then I found out at 10 pm on Wednesday night that his Easter party at school was starting at 1:30, which is normally OT time for him. He is a 1/2 day kid on that day as well. When I asked him about it in the morning, he wasn't having anything of it. He went to school, and I packed his lunch, hoping, but alas when I called the school, they told me that he insisted that he was going home. He wouldn't even go back with me to stay with him :( At first I was sad for him, then I realized that he wasn't sad. Why should I be? I had rearranged OT for Friday and let him have some time at home. His evenings had been full with soccer practice on Monday-my hubby taking them out for dinner and errands on Tuesday, and me running my errands with them on Wednesday. He still had soccer practice on Thursday, but did just fine. Friday saw me cooking all day (and packing everything to move the party to Grandma and Grandpa's house 45 minutes away), a visit to the OT, which only really got his energy out. He was so volatile!!! Did I mention that it was cold and rainy all day too? :( Saturday he spent part of the day at a friends house to go to a classmates birthday party. It was a great idea at first as this other friend was going to take him and pick him up and I would have the last 2 hours before party to get ready with one less kid. I decided that not sending him to the party would do more harm than good, so he came fashionably late to his brother's party. Sunday was church and Easter dinner back at Grandma and Grandpa's house.
Had I known what this last week would have entailed I would NOT have scheduled dentist appointments today. Oh well...not things that are easy to reschedule, so we went. And kuddos to him for doing well. He didn't like it, but tolerated it better than I thought he would have! No cavities!!! But he grinds his teeth, a lot...anyone have suggestions for that? There is no way he'd wear a mouth guard!!!!
