tough morning...

CO had a tough morning. He gave into temptation to make lots of not so good decisions. He got to spend the last bit of the morning playing in his room.  It is days like this that I think that he probably was exposed to something prenatally and I have an extra long road to travel to help him develop skills to be less impulsive and to think before he acts. It is a HUGE issue that he needs to work on. And I too need to work on not reacting in anger as that makes it worse.  His charts filled up very quickly this morning.
I long for snow. I really do. If we had snow it would mean we were spending more time outside playing and using this crazy energy for good. Instead we have MUD. yucky messy mud.
I think our bodies are healing. Not only are we taking our meds...but are using home remedies I googled online. There is nothing stranger than falling asleep smelling the onion on your bedside table and having the taste of lemon, salt and pepper on your tongue. :)

On another positive note... this morning I was having J use the potty when I heard the dog crying. I took J off the potty and he followed me to CO's bedroom. I shut J out. I dealt with the cause of the dog's crying and the with CO for the choices he made to cause the dog to be in such pain. Overall J was loose in my house a good 15 minutes while I was dealing with CO, and he was diaperless. I come out and J is all excited saying 'poop' and running towards the bathroom. There in the potty...was just what  he was saying!!! YEAH!! that is crazy. He has NEVER done that before. I made sure I made a BIG deal of it and gave him a little treat to make sure he knew it was a wonderful thing to do...so ONE more less diaper for me this week!!! That is 3 dirty diapers that I have not had to deal with this week so far!! and it is only thursday. I almost typed Wednesday because it feels like Wednesday to me...I lost Monday as we spent the majority of the day at the walk-in clinic and then the pharmacy. sigh
because I missed a day and was off, I missed garbage day. But there is always next week! :)
my house is in major need of help...and I only have tomorrow left to accomplish it before Christmas...ug...I need another day!!! I am working this weekend (I will not work Christmas again until December 2016!!!) and then we celebrate Christmas on Monday and then that night my aunt is coming up from Ottawa!! YEAH!! I have Morgain for two weeks!!! and I am hoping that between Christmas and New Year's that with my aunt's help we can do a gingerbread house. (when we were little she used to do one yearly with us) and I have tried to do one yearly with Morgain (when she isn't in BC). Two years ago we did a miniature village (she loved it). CO was only 2 so we did it while he was sleeping. Last year I did one with CO. If I was a good blogger I would add photos of all the houses, but my photos are all on an external hard rive in my laptop bag in the room that J is napping in and I have no desire to stir a sleeping baby because I am enjoying the peace too much right now. So no photos sorry.
