Repetition…
81 month ago
I’ve only been up for a short time and already Gavin has managed to ask me the same question, over and over and over and over.
To his credit, at least he’s asking the same question in different ways.
Although, it doesn’t make it any easier to take. It’s like listening to a scratched record, repeating the same chorus, over and over.. It drives me to the brink of insanity.
It gets to the point where I just have to send him to his room.
What do you folks do to survive the repetition?

Waiting made easier by Android

Elliott is a nervous wreck this morning. Nothing bad is going to happen, meaning no shots or bloodwork.
The only thing that has stopped the tears is NetFlix and our Android Tablet. He’s just chillin watching his favorite show and clinging to his new stickers as though it was for dear life.
I just wish he didn’t get so stressed out about going to the doctor’s.
Is your child a perfectionist?
22 months ago
I was wondering if your child is a perfectionist? We have struggles with this in the Lost and Tired household.
All three of my boys have a tendency to want things perfect. However, Gavin is an absolute perfectionist, at least most of the time.
Much of this stems from his abusive biological father. He used to tell Gavin things like “only losers make mistakes”. He had many more pearls of wisdom that he graciously bestowed upon Gavin, many along the same lines.
Gavin, typically doesn’t tolerate imperfection…especially from himself. It seems that no matter how hard we work to overcome the whole perfectionist thing, it just never seems to click.
Do any of you folks ever deal with this sort of thing? If so, what have you done to work with this?
Another Day Another Therapy
13 months ago
Gavin has PT this afternoon. Today has been exhausting and I have a massive headache. I wish we could just slow down a little bit, every once in awhile.
Tomorrow, Emmett has therapy in the afternoon. This week is a slow one for the Lost and Tired household because we only have 10 appointments so far.
It’s gonna be a very long week.

Gavin makes lunch

Gavin made his own lunch this afternoon. That didn’t go as smoothly as the dentist today but it was a good effort.
Here are the pictures of his creation. I put a couple views because you need to see the jelly from the side to get the full effect:-)
Nice job Gavin

Hell Freakin’ Yeah

Gavin’s appointment went off without a single hitch. This never and I literally means, never happens. Gavin did so amazingly well.
I can’t begin to explain just how proud of him I am. He was in and out in roughly 10 minutes.
The dentist said that Gavin could have a mild form of dentinogenesis imperfecta but the operative word is could. Gavin had no cavities but does need to brush better. He also said that Gavin’s tooth pulling episode hasn’t caused any major problems at all. There is some crowding but that’s about it.
Gavin has 3 baby teeth that need to come out, so Gavin can do that himself or we can go back and have them pulled. They’re already loose so Gavin will get them. We had told him to leave them alone because we didn’t know what was going on yet.
He’s not in danger of loosing his teeth and while they are not normal he is going well. When his 12 year molars come in he will likely need them capped as well but we won’t know until then.
Huge, huge, huge sigh of relief. This is not at all what I had expected but I’ll snatch up this victory.
