It's so hard to sit still!

Is anyone still reading this?  I am definitely losing steam on this blog, but I will keep it open just because it is such a good way to keep track of things and I hope someday the kids will enjoy reading it.

We were able to go back to the CDD for Esias' psychology and OT appointments.  The psychologist thought that his mental abilities were fine.  We were pretty sure that was the case but it is good to hear from the professionals.  He did very well in anything visual-- puzzles, etc. and struggled more with the language expression/comprehension (which of course we were already aware of !).  SO that is all good news.  We are going to pursue some more speech therapy for him.

In other health news, Elly has been having nystagmus in her eyes for the last 6 months or so, and I finally decided I better just have it looked at.  So she's being seen today at the pediatrician.  I have nystagmus in my eyes with my vertigo, and general visual disturbance, but i am trying not to let myself jump to conclusions about her neurological health and just assume this is a normal benign type of it!  We will hear today what the Dr. wants to do.

Eden is great- growing so fast.  She is quite a young lady these days.  This week she brought home 4 papers that were all 100%.  She isn't a perfectionist and doesn't have to get 100% on everything (which is fine by me, as long as she knows what she's doing in the subject) but I was really proud of her because sometimes she rushes through work.  This really made me proud that she was taking her time and learning to look back over her work!  Elly is struggling to keep up with all the cutting, coloring, and writing that is kindergarten...not that she can't do it, in fact she does really well!  But she can't sit still long enough without getting up to belt out a tune, act out a skit, or make up some elaborate story...she colors with so many details that many days she brings home unfinished work from school.  I love my kids dearly, but sometimes I think my children are so creative that they have trouble working within the confines of normal school routines!  Ha!  I wonder how that happened...
