no teeth, ear infection, wraparound

So Zane wasn't getting teeth. Nope...he had another ear infection. He just finished antibiotics...and I am thinking he still has one...so I am calling the dr. tomorrow. Zane is still just rolling over...no crawling or any real sign that it will happen. He continues to droll like crazy. I really thought he was getting those teeth. He realized he has thumbs...and he loves to push his thumb down on my arm, daddy's arm, the floor, his toys, or what ever he can and wiggle it back and forth...he does that when he is really tired. It's cute!

Gabe started wraparound. He was pretty good for the BSC and the TSS. The TSS did go out with us in public and noticed his stimming. He also ran from me but not too far. I am so glad we are doing wraparound. I think Gabe is going to learn a lot from these two ladies!!! And they are both really nice.

We took the kids to the amusement park over the weekend. Gabe LOVED the water park. Zane screamed. He hated the cold water...even the slow running baby water park. Finally we just covered him with his blanket and towel and he went to sleep. As long as no water hit him he was okay. If even a sprinkle hit him he cried! We tried to watch the live musical show they had but both boys were minding the loudness. Gabe kept his hands by his ears...and then every now and then he moved them and covered his brothers ears. It made me smile that he was worried about Zane.
Gabe rode every ride he could. He even rode a small roller coaster...and loved it. I figured he would like the fast rides...he is such a sensory seeker. The fast ones are right up his alley! It was a great day.

bleeping bank....

ERRRR.....AHHHHH.....My flipping bank changed names. They say they bought out another bank...but I don't buy it...if they bought out the bank then why did they change names? Hmmm...why? And they have to change their whole online banking system...and now I can't check my account and when I went to use my ATM card the flipping thing wouldn't work. I got denied. Do you know how embarrassing that is? And I had deposited cash....hard cash..not a check. That money should be available right away. Oh I am so flipping mad. Then I tried to call them...and whole phone system is down. And this is from a bank that had a "no merger mania" saying. BULL SHIT! Maybe it is time to go with a credit union...or there is always the mattress. Seriously....this is insane. Oh someone is going to get an ear full.....They are lucky I had cash to pay for my groceries that's all I have to say....

Wraparound...can't start soon enough

WOW....Gabe is a wild child. He can't stay still for 2 seconds. His behavior is yucky. He tells me NO, is running from me all. the. time. and hitting at me. It's just rough in general. And the baby is getting his bottom teeth. Everyone at our house is miserable.

Tomorrow is our intake meeting for wraparound services. They can't come soon enough. Gabe is sensory seeking like mad. Maybe the change in weather? I don't know. But he can't stop climbing. He is climbing on me as I type this. He runs everywhere, has been screaming, jumping in places, spinning, and bouncing off everything. Oh, and he drew on my walls two times in two days.

Zane's teeth must really be hurting him because he is crying all the time. The good news is...he slept through the night two nights in a row. Last night he woke up twice, but I think his teeth were hurting. He is still rolling over and I am convinced he will be crawling by the end of next month. I guess it's time to get some gates. We'll all be living in a gated community for the next couple years.

I am so looking forward to our wraparound meeting tomorrow. Yay...I am sure Gabe isn't going to like the change. He is going to have to learn to walk with mommy and daddy now and we are going to learn better ways to help autistic kids understand and follow rules. I can't wait....
