My mother called me over the weekend to let me know I haven't updated the blog in a while. I've been really busy with the CNA course I'm taking and life's just gotten in the way. So - my last update was Feb 13. Here're some tidbits since then.
- Dominic is deeply in love with our new puppy, Kumar. Deeply. To the point that he has given the poor, waterlogged dog a bath every day the last few days. (In fairness, Kumar is dusty. Kumar has discovered digging). We actually had to stop him from giving Kumar a second bath of the day yesterday.
- School wise, we are going to visit the middle school sped program on Friday - the school very much does not want us to hold D back. We are on the fence after speaking with them. We will see the program and talk some more on Friday,.
- We are loving home based OT and speech. In the last month, Dominic has done the following life skills with his OT, Ashley - Cooking dinner (yes he did), baking cupcakes, doing laundry, vacuuming, shoveling snow... and I am loving not having to spend that time sitting in a waiting room.
- Dominic has adjusted to the MASSIVE routine change of me going to CNA school remarkably. I am in school every night, leaving at 5:15 and getting home around 10:30 - so he has had to adjust from Mommy every night, dinner/footbath, shower, bedtime all consistent to - Daddy on Monday, dinner then going to the gym adn being in daycare until 7:30pm, then shower and bed. Mr Juan on Tuesday and Wednesdays, doing dinner then hanging out and Daddy doing shower and bed later.... and Daddy on Thurs and Friday. Its a big shift and he's handled it beautifully. He really likes Mr Juan - which is very sweet to see. I have 3 more weeks of CNA school.
- Speaking of routine changes, Saturday I took Dominic to the Zoo and instead of going our usual path, i switched it up and skipped the wallabys, substituting the bears and monkeys, which changes the trajectory of the walk. . And he was totally fine with the change. We did have to backtrack to see the tiger because a trip to the zoo isn't a trip to the zoo without the tiger.
