My little man

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I shared in my previous blog that we have been having some behavior issues with Noah. I have always been concerned that perhaps there is a bit of ADHD. I know for sure that it runs in his side of the family. We haven been doing our best to get a handle on it before it becomes a bigger problem. This little guy is a challenge. We have days where we butt heads something awful and I just need to leave. So, the past few weeks have been challenging for both of us. Sometimes I wonder if it is easier to just give up and let him act a fool. I know that it is incredibly hard to spend every minute that I am with him trying to figure out how to intercept the situation and avoid an argument, a struggle, an all out free for all of emotions. This past weekend I was home with the kids by myself because Jason works one Saturday a month. So, I got out the camera and decided that Noah was going to take pictures all day. "I want to see your day!" I said to him. He was so incredibly excited and was ready to move! Thankfully it was a GORGEOUS weekend and we go outside. Noah had so much taking pictures and telling stories while he was doing it. He was just fantastic all day.

what's goin on

Rainy yucky day here in Summerville, and I finally got the kids to take a nap! The past couple of weeks have been a bit rough around here. Noah has been having issues at school for a while now and we are doing our best to try and get a  handle on his behavior. Last week, we started him on a gluten free diet and so far we have seen results. He is just not as much of a spaz and seems to actually listen when we talk to him. Before it was like talking to the wall. ADHD has always been in the back of our minds especially since it runs in Jason's family. I just absolutely do not want to get him medicated. I have seen kids that are and some are just little zombies. I will say that if worst comes to worst, I will do it. I just want it to be my last resort. I will do whatever it takes to make sure that my child is able to learn at the level he should be learning at. He is incredibly smart and I know how far he is able to go.
  Nora decided on Monday to get yet another staph infection. I cannot tell you how mentally exhausting those things are. It is so hard when you do everything that they tell you to do to try and prevent them, and it just wont stop. There is nothing worse than seeing your sweet baby in pain and know there is nothing you can do about it.  Trying to make the most of the good things going on in our house right now and enjoying what is usually FANTASTIC weather. We have been in the  70's and sunny almost every day. I am so lovin it!
