We had to get up early today. There was an Easter breakfast at church. I had to get Caibry out of bed twice. He was not happy!
I got him dressed twice too. Once I left the room he took off his clothes and started getting back in pajamas. It was irritating, but I hate morning too and for 2 cents I would have gone back to bed with him.
He was crabby, but we did eventually make it to breakfast. We were only 15 minutes late.
He didn't like anything they served except strawberries. He said the muffins were "too crumbly", the eggs were "too wet" and the juice was "too sour". I gave up!
Caibry ran off twice at church and was very emotional.
Chloe was sick and I had to take her to the Emergency Room. Caibry kept running outside to play on his scooter even though I said no. He got very mad when I brought him in. He screamed "I hate you!" Today has just been too much for me. I'm tired. I went to my room to cry. Such a happy Easter.

Listening Session:
Caibry listened while playing on his scooters.
Today has been all about trains. He makes trains by using every toy he owns and lining them up in long train-like lines. Sometimes he even adds pillows if he runs out of toys to make the train as long as he envisioned. The trains go all through my house and if you trip on them or knock anything askew he totally explodes. I hate trains!
I have O.C.D and the mess drives me crazy!

Today my cousin went back to Michigan.
The kids were all given scooters from a couple at church. They played outside for hours!
The first time Caibry got to the end of the driveway he panicked and started yelling"help!". He didn't understand how to stop.
Once he got the hang of it, he liked the scooter.
Listening Session:
Caibry ate lunch while listening. Daddy lost track of time and Caibry got about ten minutes extra listening time. He didn't seem to notice.
Caibry was a pretty average 4 year old today.

The girl's sleep over left me exhausted. The kids played in Caibry's room and watched movies.
If I'm fair I won't rate his behavior today. My tolerance is low and I honestly don't know what's him and what's me.
I have a migraine and my patience is fried.
Nevie wasn't feeling well and Caibry was pretty gentle with her.
He listened to his CD at lunch. He definitely needs a distraction in order to use the headphones. He starts wanting them off after about 5 minutes.
Caibry tried sucking applesauce through a straw today (bug gut shakes we called them). He liked it. He also liked playing with clay to make a frog sculpture to go with our school unit on frogs.
Daddy came home from work frustrated and has no patience with anybody. Caibry started getting whiny and emotional. I can't blame him.

Caibry peed his pull-up and wanted a new one. He did not want to get dressed today, but I made him. I told him that pull-ups were only for bedtime.
We built a cardboard fort house in his room for him yesterday and he's having fun hiding in it. He pretended it was on fire ad he was a fireman. He's enjoying independent play today. He put on his Mickey Mouse costume and refused to take it off even though he's almost outgrown it. He sat at the table and played with Beauty and the Beast figurines. He was pretty engaged and even talked for them.
We went to the park today. Caibry didn't want to play on any of the equipment, but had fun pushing Sadie in the swing.
He went to bed pretty well and slept hard. The youth girls were over on a scavenger hunt and he slept through their squealing teenage excitement.
Caibry's listening session was a fight today.

Today was a very hard day for Caibry. He was already awake when I got up. He was sitting at the kitchen table with a banana. When he saw me he started throwing a fit. He was mad that Nevie had a toy at the table. It's against family rules to bring toys to the table and he was very upset at her. Nevie never touched the toy and it wasn't bothering anyone else, but the simple presence of the toy angered him.
I told him that it wasn't bothering anyone, that she was eating good and he needed to too. He started screaming at her and destroyed his banana in a fit. He mutilated it into pieces and threw it all over the kitchen floor! When I told him to clean it up, he ground it in with his heel and said NO! Then he peed down his leg, smiling smugly while urine dripped onto the floor.
Daddy gave him a shower while I cleaned up. We were both really gritting our teeth.
As I put away the mop I realized the dogs had been left out in the rain. They realized it too and let the dogs in. Muddy dog prints went all over the kitchen floor!
I was all too happy to abandon the chaos and grocery shop.
The afternoon got a little better, but not much.
Listening sessions today were awful after only 5 minutes!

Today I was trying to do school with Chloe and I could see tat Caibry was getting bored. I gave him and Nevie water color and paper and they had fun painting together. They played nice together most of the day.
Caibry wet his pull up and hasn't eaten much today. He has led play with Nevie and not been a bully at all.
He did butt heads with Daddy a few times during listening sessions. He's been very sassy and talked back a lot to Daddy, who was trying very hard to give it no attention.
Caibry made "trains" a lot today, but cleaned up without much fight.
The OT is sick, so tomorrow's appointment is cancelled. She called and told us to reduce CD times to one 15 minute session/ day. Thank God!
