Hope everyone had a great christmas, ours was nice, quiet and nice, we missed Harold being home, but we got to see him on webcam opening his gifts, so that was really cool. i got him a memory book from snapfish, 20 pages of photos of us and captions, very cool, he also got a small(much smaller than i thought...) digi pic frame, then he got a cool pair of PJ pants with super heros, his roomate tells him his pj's need a volume button.....i love it. :) life should be full of color hu? a lil sparkle to make life less ordinary.
we had a nice christmas, the boys ended up getting lots of gifts from our nurses that i didnt anticipate them doing at all, so it was very sweet of them all. the boys theme was basically STAR WARS as usual. they got light sabers, books, action figures, mini action figures, pj's and shirts all with star wars. they LOVED it. Zach of course got a buttload of gifts, ring stackers ...2, light up ball, glow worm, baby einstine toys, books, dvd's, christmas ornament, tickle me cookie monster, leapfrog toy,clothes and much more! very awesome. i even got a few nice things that was totally unexpected. our day nurse Alex, who is such a doll, i really hope she stays with us for a long while, got me a wallet, that i really needed,a wonderful candle and this awesome collage frame that i was eyeballing in kohls. another nurse got me a music box, very sweet. so it looks like SANTA really did come. :)
now the holidays are over and the kids are bouncing off the walls. remember when i said earlier that a lil color in life is good? brings a sparkle and such? well....the boys are like that, on a good day they warm the house and it glows with love, on the normal days its like our house has amillion christmas light on and its SCREAMING look at me!! sometimes they are a bit toooo colorful. Chance is still obsessed with numbers, i mentioned this with his primary doc today while we were discussing holding off on most of zach's shots till 18 months. the doctors eyes grew wide with concern when i said chance is 3 and counts to 100 and adds numbers all day and carries a calculator around, and i told him mikey is the same, that paired with their sleep problems and meltdowns, mikeys sensory problems and clumsiness the doc was at a loss for words at first. he then asked me how the boys vocabulary was, when i told him they were rather advanced in that they use words adults do, such as Embosal (sp) or calling me and Harold the parents, not mom and dad, i also told him that the neuro we were sent to see for mikey told me he couldnt help us, dr fontain just stared wide eyed and told me to keep an eye on them. i know in my heart he was thinking exactly what i have been for a while. i think somewhere on the autism spectrum disorder ASD is where the boys are, they are definatly not the low functioning classical autistic kid, maybe high functioning or aspergers or even nonverbal learning disorder. i just hope whatever the case we can get the help they need to let them succeed in school. im so tired of no one having any ideas and passing us on from doctor to doctor.
Chance has been REALLY colorful in public lately, letting out piercing screams and wailing over the smallest of things, not wanting to walk, not wanting to sit in buggy, mikey looking at him...etc, it wouldnt be so bad but the "looks" i get from the shoppers around like "what a brat" or "she needs to beat em" is about to kill me, ive attempted to do just that, but the spankings dont work, its not the problem, i wish i could fix them.
im exhusted and worn out.
Wed is my birthday!! yippie, lol. ill be spending a day by myself, alex will be keeping all the kids so i can go out window shopping or reading at the book store or whatever and then ill be having dinner with a good friend while her hubby watches the boys and her daughter, ill of course take zach along for the dinner. i am soo looking forward to that.
k, time to watch some tv.....
Happy New Year incase i dont get back on before:)
