I love my boys, from the moment I got pregnant
with my first child, Nicholas, who is now 4, I have been a mommy day in, day out, everyday, allday... and I would not change that one bit!
Although Ive always been a full time working mother, my number one job is to protect/provide/take
care of our boys. Sometimes its tiring, sometimes is pure bliss, sometimes its horrific, sometimes it scary, sometimes its confusing, sometimes its painful, sometimes its frustrating... and frustration is where I am today with my sweet Nicholas. We have been having a behavior issue going on. Yesterday I took everything away from him, he is only allowed to lay in bed, if I say he can get up, theres no playing, only reading books, doing homework or practicing his letters. He was so upset I did this, that I swore to myself, FINALLY I got his attention.... he will be better tomorrow... well tomorrow came... and went. Awful day. He says he just can not control himself. He can not be good.
I honestly believe he is bored... but what do I do about that?! Ugh... I hope something gives with him... I know in my heart he is not a bad kid, yes hyper active at times, but by no means is intentionally disrepectful, wild, or mean. Is this me trying to protect him? Am I one of THOSE moms who think their child is gifted?? who knows...
Next my lil Mr. B... like Nicholas did as a little one, Braxton has had his share of ear infections... and its time for tubes. :-( We go next friday to get tubes put in his ears. I know with Nicholas this really helped! I hope it does with B as well!
As for me and my progress, I didnt mention that having this procedure isnt just deciding to have surgery. They call it a PROGRAM not just a SURGERY. Theres a whole list of things I have to do before being able to even schedule the surgery. I am going forward with getting everything complete and then I will be left with the final decision of if I am going to do it or not. I have my physcologist appointment made, nutrition appt made, all my blood work and my medical nessesity paperwork done, waiting on my
Things Ive completed
Still to come
This week, I have continued to eat my normal... have any of these docs told me not to? NO. But do I know I should? YES. I want to start as simple as water, but I just can not make myself... (perhaps this is where Nicholas gets his persistence that he just can not make himself be good??)
Off to bed for me...
