Man they just FLY by lately. I had to ask Mike tonight if it was really Sunday night because it just seemed so wrong that it went this fast. The good news is we are totally finished Christmas shopping for Matthew. I will kick myself if I get "just one more thing" for him too. We always let the shopping get out of hand, and this year I just want to stop while we are ahead of the game.
Things are really trying right now with Matthew. He is either just terribly exhausted or something else is bothering him. Yeah, I know he is still adjusting to being a 4 person family, but sometimes I just wonder who he is. He is clearly not focused. His mind is moving full speed ahead all of the time, and it is hard to get him to slow down and be in the moment with me. I can be disciplining him and he is acting like he is listening, but then he will interrupt with a random question of something that we weren't even discussing. I really want to say I hope this is an age thing, but my heart is telling me that he may have ADD or something. He just never sits still any longer, and his foot is always dancing if he is sitting, or he is always doing something to keep moving. I just want to shout, sit still! I just don't understand how he can always be moving, yet..he doesn't really sleep for long periods.
His ped said that if this keeps up, I need to come back in.
I really just need 30 minutes to make him a progression chart, and also a potty chart. He seems to not have any problems lately dribbling in his underwear, but flat out refuses to have any sorts of accident in his pull ups if he wears one. I am stumped. His ped was even stumped. He said that it was pretty strange that he doesn't care if he has an accident in regular underwear. I don't get it.
I think I am just going to cut out most of the sugar in his life for awhile. I know it can have such a negative effect on kids, and maybe once he has had none for awhile, I will see a difference. At least I hope so.
