1st Day of MDO
Today was the first day of MDO. The teacher reported Emily was "teary" most of the day. When did "crying" become not PC??? Anyway - I knew there would be some adjustment and crying - but it kills me when I know there is a simple solution. Like she cried at naptime - because they didn't give her the sippy cup of milk I packed and her stuffed kitty. So Thurs most explicit directions will be left. I hate to be THAT mom - but I can't stand senseless crying. I understand its a new environment etc etc - but come on, give the kiddo her milk all ready. OK - so I stayed BUSY today. I cleaned out the master closet and bathroom, pantry, ran to the dry cleaners, grocery shopping, donated the clothes from the closet, painted some shelves Aaron built this past weekend. AND I took a little nap before picking her up. Thurs will be more of the same. I'm planning to get everything cleaned out and organized and then actually CLEAN this house.
Last weekend we flew to Midland to celebrate my grandmother's 87th birthday. She was so surprised to see us. Emily did great on the flight there - but the hotel room freaked her out and then I think her tummy hurt - so no one slept - and by no one I mean anyone surrounding us. I felt bad, but nothing I could do. The flight home was ok - the pilot descended a little fast. Everyone's ears were hurting, including the adults. We survived though - and I think we will fly again someday. The good thing is my grandmother said she was open to the idea of moving to Tyler. It would be great to be able to see her more often - we shall see if and when it happens though.
We've been enjoying the company of some new friends. They are from Canada and we met through the mom's group. They have the cutest little boy - and the kiddos play so well together. They enjoy camping and we are looking forward to some trips this fall. Here's a picture of Emily kissing their dog.
All is well in our world. Hug your kiddos tight tonight. We had two friends of friends of friends loose their boys. I NEVER want to experience this pain. One was a 5 month old, born premature in a very broken body - Thank the Lord he is no longer suffering. The other was a 14 yr old boy committed suicide out of the blue. Tragic. I know our kids grow and it sometimes feels like we are losing them - but we have not truly lost them. Let them know you love them.

That's horrible about thost 2 children. That's just heartbreaking!!
I hope that her 2nd day of MDO goes better. I hope they work harder to make her feel comfortable. That would really make me angry. Brayden's MDO people held him and rocked him to comfort him, and they did all the naptime requirements that I asked...even breathing treatments. So we were lucky!
Glad you are able to accomplish so much. Form your list of things you;d think she was gone all week. Way to go!! :)
