Fanatical?

So did I ever tell you I'm a Virgo. Well we like to over analysis EVERYTHING. So to the two people that may read this blog, I offer this: I'm possessed with over thinking ADHD. Not because I want to be, but for me, it's the only way to give myself any control over something so gray. I definitely did not wake up one morning and go, “I think I’ll brush up on my obsessing skills for kicks”. In the real world, I’m actually quite laid back. I hate sounding so negative. I really hope that when reading back my posts in the future my spirit is rising.

Until then, the valid rollercoaster continues…

Potty training is going the right direction. He got right back up on that horse and earning stars every day. The last three days Rocco actually ate some lunch and even a snack here and there. He’s eating lesser amounts at breakfast and dinner, but I’d prefer small meals throughout the day then nothing in the middle.

After several talks about the carpooling and eating snack at school dilemma, Rocco finally understands that we don’t want to talk about it anymore. That realization is great. The only problem with it, is now the last two nights he has just said he doesn’t want to go to school. “But, Rocco, you love school.” Then after a couple minutes of talking it gets back to the carpooling issue. Grrr So I think I have come up with a solution. I want to get Rocco his own mp3 player. Just a cheap one like a ishuffle or something. That way he could just listen to his music with ear phones while carpooling with the screaming baby. And it’s small to keep in his backpack.

Rocco is also elaborating on the future still. It’s cute. He wants to be a Police Officer and a Daddy when he grows up. He is just maturing with his communication too. Today he said, “Mom, the boring part of the day is when the babies nap.” Just the way he said it was different, hard to explain.

I signed a revised IEP today to include summer school for Rocco. I think this will help the transition.

As we continue to adjust, I’m going to try not to sweat the small things so much.
