ADELINE IS IN! she made it into the special needs preschool. she will get physical, occupational, & speech therapy (individual & group) weekly, plus the usual preschool thing. 4 days a week for about 2 1/2 hours. amazing. perfect. love it.
i think *every* child should have this preschool opportunity. why is it that a kid has to have special needs to get free education as a preschooler? (i believe that was one of obama's points of interest & i hope it still is...i will try not to get all political on you, but i sway left...even if i didn't i would enthusiastically accept this free preschool. i am glad to pay taxes to help out kids, adults, whomever. okay, will stop before i go on about health care *smile*).
2nd appointment, gosh, this is going to be difficult. wes needed to be at work, i mean, he's taken so many part days off. his employers are wonderful about all of these appointments, simply wonderful & understanding. but there comes a time when he has to say 'i have to be at work, i can't do this appointment' & i have to start pushing myself & do it. so today is the day that i take adeline to get an ultrasound of her kidneys & then a catheter. what a day to start, eh? i'm guessing there will have to be some sort of restraint object used...i know there will be lots of screaming b/c catheters hurt (this i now know), at least coming out they do. anyway, it will be over soon & hopefully this is just a precaution & she doesn't have kidney problems.
then tomorrow is her preschool open house! then 15 minutes after that she has her 1st individual speech therapy appointment...& yes, i'm driving all this myself! gulp. my cousin mckenzie is a godsend today, able to stay here with amelia & then tomorrow my friend christine will be here with amelia for those times. gosh, it will suddenly be friday, eh? THEN our old neighbors from boise who are driving around the country in their (oil run?) RV, talking about jesus & serving others & such, well, they're coming to ohio & visiting us! they are fantastic folks & we've missed them & are kinda giddy to see them again. (check out their 'share5' blog on the right).
must go pump addy with some more water for her exams... wish us luck.
WAIT! the 'plus something'??? i fit into my skinny jeans! not my pre-adeline skinny jeans (do i even still own those?!) but my post-amelia being born goal jeans. they're not actually the skinny "fit", just what i consider to be the weight & shape & size i feel comfortable with. i don't use a scale ever, so i have to use jeans or clothes to determine all those things. this morning, i couldn't find my newer jeans & so i went downstairs, to the box that has a taped on note saying "HEIDI DON'T OPEN UNTIL 10/09" b/c i don't want to open them & not fit into them & be all bummed. i gave myself the 13 months to fit back into pre amelia clothes & all it took was a brain tumor, lol. i was watching a tivo'd show of sex & the city t he other day & samantha fit into her skinny jeans & i was like 'oh my dkny jeans from 2 septembers ago, i miss you' & here i am, feeling like samantha, fitting into the dream jeans. do you feel the sun shining also? *smile*

Yay for skinny jeans! There are pics of me running around in my nightgown and jeans, taking care of The Boy. I tried them on, expecting to be disappointed, and was so happy when they fit, I refused to take them off -- which wouldn't be weird, except it was one of those mommy mornings when getting dressed never seems to be a priority.
ReplyDeletecongrats on adeline getting into the preschool - i CAN'T wait to hear how it goes (and i'm secretly hoping she does one of those things that you fear... come on, i enjoy a good laugh). :-) and i'm praying that the doc appointment goes well - it doesn't sound fun.
