Saturday sledding

 We all had a relaxing Saturday!

Evey woke up at 5:45, sat up in her crib and played with her bees. Ty ended up waking up at 6 so Joshua got Evey changed and headed downstairs to get them breakfast. She ate all of her waffle and drank all of her water. Ty was talking really loud and ended up waking everyone up because he was so excited to get outside to play in the snow. 

Joshua made cinnamon rolls and sausage pinwheels (Sister Shubert's) for breakfast. They were amazing! After doing some laundry, we all got ready to go outside. We put Evey in the stroller so that the kids could find hills throughout the neighborhood to sled down. We found a couple of good ones and we let them sled down them for a while. There were a lot of four wheelers out so we headed back to the house to play in the backyard. While the big kids were sledding Evey took a small 20 minute nap in the stroller. 






We came inside and made hotdogs and french fries for everyone to enjoy. Evey ate chicken nuggets and fries. After we got cleaned up Evey, Joshua and I took a long 1.5 hour nap. It was one of those deep sleep naps and when we woke up we all felt rejuvenated! Laney worked on her painting and Jonah played with his legos and watched a movie with Ty. 


After nap, we all had a little snack.  Joshua attempted to go to the grocery store so that we could meal prep for next week, but they were out of everything that we needed so he will try again tomorrow at a few different stores. 

Evey needed a change of scenery so Joshua took her into the playroom with the boys. She loved hanging out in there. She really likes getting the lightsabers and waving them in the air. 

She was in a silly mood tonight and it took her awhile to go to sleep. She eventually fell asleep around 8pm. 

Tomorrow we will enjoy sleeping in and watching church online. Then we will meal prep and work prep for our week ahead and pray for more snow!

Be like a bee- hardworking, wise and delicate!

Expect the Unexpected

Image
       When I first started teaching at Cornerstone and the charter school way was new to me, a lot of things I had to learn how to handle without a program administrator or someone downtown telling me what to do. The best advice I got from our director was to expect the unexpected and things would seem a little easier. From that day on and each new school year I expected the unexpected so that I wouldn't get bogged down with all the chaos that a new school year brings.      At the beginning of this school year, I learned that Evey would need another open heart surgery. I was not expecting that to be told to us. Her doctors weren't expecting it either. I went into a whirlwind of emotions. I started the school year off with a negative attitude. I didn't want to be there. I couldn't handle putting Evey to sleep because the long nights at the hospital and after her first heart surgery  crept back in. There were many nights I cried because I just want...

March wind is a jolly fellow

Image
  He likes to joke and play. He turns umbrellas inside out And blows men's hats away. Just like the poem goes, March has brought us a whirlwind of growth! Evey started speech and physical therapy and has grown so much in the past two weeks. She has learned to say, "eat" when she wants to eat and she has learned to sign "up". We are working on 'requesting' words so that she can begin to request for items so that she is not getting frustrated.  We began our session with learning to say "wee" and modeling it for her. She does a great job when I get her attention. I learned that getting her attention by saying, "Evey, look at mommy's nose" works. It's something that I learned from my mother growing up when she worked with preschoolers. It also works with my kinders that I teach.  She also started getting in the crawling position on her own as well. She likes getting in this position then sliding down like she is sliding into home ...

54 days

Image
 It's been 54 days since last updating the blog.  From April until the end of May is a busy time of year for teachers. It's also been a rollercoaster of emotions for us as we have transitioned to CAP-C and a new nursing agency at the end of April. No one truly knows the amount of time it takes and the emotions a parent feels getting the RIGHT services for a child with a disability unless they have lived it.  There are so many people that take a job just to get money. Others take a job because they are passionate about the work they do. The nurses we have met through the new agency just want a paycheck. I bought two more cameras to have in our house because I just do not trust the nurse that comes in to take care of Evey. When I have peeked in on them, the nurse is on her phone ALL the time, not interacting with Evey and does the bare minimum. It's been excruciating to watch. She has regressed with her development because the nurse does nothing with her. I have contacted t...
