Went for a bike ride to the donut shop today. It is obvious my boys still need lots of instruction out on the roadway regarding safety and bike etiquette. We have therapy later today and then hitting the pool. Took Jbird to the doctor yesterday...he just seems exhausted, despite getting to bed early most nights. She thinks his tonsils are huge and there could be some sleep apnea going on. I have known for a while he is a huge mouth breather. We have an appt Monday with the ENT. Will see what he says...... JB is filling up his potty sheets with stickers. Some days are better than others, but we are making headway. He sure has ramped up his frustration tantrums. Mainly when he is trying to get himself dressed or wanting his way with something. Working really hard on getting him to use his words instead of screaming or throwing things. B has been back to the orthodontist. I have a phone consult next week to talk about what the full recommendations are for treatment and the biggie...the cost. I think everyone (Dr included) is hopeful that he will only need a phase 1 and phase 2 treatment....meaning just giving room for teeth to come in and not having to go all the way with braces and straightening them. He did say that there is really no great benefit either way to starting stuff now or waiting a year. Not much to lose or gain either way. This weekend is the annual Cub Scout Family Night Camp out. We are heading to private property and the owners are bringing in some of their biologists to teach us about animal tracking, wildlife management, etc. This is a really large ranch with lots of resources. Very thankful they are taking a chance in allowing our large group to camp at their place, 11 miles back in the middle of nowhere. Should be some great pictures to post!
