questions

If any of you have any answers or info on any of the following questions, please e mail or comment it here for me...

My mom asks,

Is Maddie talking enough for her age. I think she should be talking in sentences... so i found...

and e mailed it to her.

I even gave her some stuff to do with Maddie, but she has me concerned because of Kenzie's speech issues...

So I am researching ways to get toddlers talking more.

Then she says, YOU NEED TO GET MADDIE TESTED FOR AUTISM. I reply with, when I took her to the doc the last time I told her YOU were worried about the Autism, and Dr. Morgan isn't concerned with it. I am also researching that.

here is a link on diagnosis of autism

http://www.nationalautismassociation.org/diagnosis.php

although Dr Morgan isn't concerned with it, I feel that I should put it here to help educate other mothers about autism since it is so frequently diagnosed thesedays.

The next question she consistently asks is about Maddie occasionally taking a step with her toes pointing in. I don't notice it very much, but she says she is "walking with her toes pointed in" every time I watch her, I don't see it very much. Yes Maddie had a hip click, but she was released from the ortho doc over a year ago and so we are not worried about it, but I get told, you need to have another xray to make sure. I always think that the doc is the one who tells us when to have an xray. I mean. I am at my whitts end. I am at the point of no return with all of the "things" wrong with my kid.

With Kenzie the questions aren't as many as they used to be probably because she can talk and take up for herself. I am just venting right now because it seems like every time I turn around, there is something else wrong with one of the kids. It frustrates me when I am told take them to the doc about this or that ever time I trun around. I am not trying to say I don't want to know concerns I am saying that when it is brought to my attention one time, that is usually all I need. I make note of it and I talk with the doc the next time I take the child.

Enough of my frustration, Kenzie is sick and wanting to come home from school, so if she isn't any better monday, I will not be sending her to school. I will update you more later.

Kenzie's day at school

Kenzie got off of the bus screaming, "Mom it snowed!" It was so cute. Then when I got into her backpack, I found her daily sheet with this on it... Kenzie had wrote her name (not perfect but she tried) and a note from the teacher above it saying "INDEPENDENT WRITING-- ONLY VERBAL PROMPTS!" I am so excited for her! We are definately getting somewhere. Then under the teacher comments part, I find... "SHE CAME IN TELLING ME IT WAS SNOWING-- SUPER EXCITED!" I too saw this when she got home! Construction Zone Newsletter Week 2 Dear Family, This week Kenzie will learn about solving problems.

And WINTER is here!

I look out the window to see.... A BLANKET OF SNOW! It is covering my driveway, walkway, yard.... and we are expecting more this week! I think it is safe to say that winter has finally decided to come! Don't get me wrong, snow is pretty, but I don't like it because that means I have to drive in dangerous conditions! I would much rather be driving in tropical storm force winds and rain (I have done this! When all the hurricanes were going through Florida a couple of years ago!). Now on to other things... Saturday: I had a really busy day. I was at work and didn't think it would ever end. Admissions and falls and sending people to the hospital... stabalizing others and stuff that goes on in the health care centers all the time. Sunday: Zach forgot to add me back into the schedule, so I got off at 2pm. Rode home with Maxx since he lives in Jeffersonville and Ryan and the girls were going to be at his house anyway. When we got there we watched a little of the game an...
