Day Two

So I'm happy to report that Rocco slept through the night no problem.
I fed him breakfast and then gave him one 18mg Concerta pill. He didn't fight me and took it no problem.
The first few hours were fine. I had tivo'd the movie "Sand Lot" since he just started T-Ball and he watched half of it no problem. He wanted to finish it, but we needed to leave and go to Nonna's.

The lack of appetite thing really bugs me so today I tried taking him for a treat to get hamburgers. He said yes and then took one bite and said it tasted funny. Now he's probably eaten this hamburger from Burger King 100 times and he has never not finished it. I told him if he ate half, I'd let me have some icee. Yes I did try to explain to Rocco that this medicine some times makes us not hungry, but we still need to eat and yes it completely flew over his head.

Rocco was previously invited to spend the night at Nonna's house. I was a little anxious to leave him only on day two of his meds, but I knew Nonna would spoil him rotten and that helps a little with my guilt. I spent all evening thinking about him and we talked twice on the phone. He did eat all his sausage and was so excited to tell me. He also wanted to make sure I gave him a star for doing so good. (Every 10 Stars he gets a new lego toy we put together. He enjoys the one-on-one time and I'm happy he works on his fine motor skills)

In all honesty, it was a little nice not to be monitoring him every 15 minutes and watching every time he moved his tongue around. My emotions had a little break. I'll be interested to see how his grandparents saw Rocco on the meds.

I love Rocco. Just felt like saying that.

Anyways, we'll see how he did at Nonna's tomorrow. And yes Nonna is all set to give him a pill in the morning.
