My little boy

Today I had to take Micah to the dentist to get some cavities filled. I took him on Monday and they made him take Versed ( a sedative) and laughing gas but it just made him hyper and the couldn't fill the cavities. So today they out him under for the procedure. When they first out the mask on him and he was a bit restless but hen 30 seconds later he was out. It took about 45 min to fill the cavities and then when I went in to see him he was crying and he was hysterical. But that's to be expected. I brought him home and I had to carry him in from the car. And if you know where I live you know that the parking lot is not near my apartment so lugging a 51 lb kid was really hard for me. He has been laying on the couch for a while but I think he is feeling better because he is up and whats to eat more than just yogurt. When I was little I don't remember it being this nice, when I had cavities filled you sat in the chair and you sat still and you just had to buck up even if it hurt. Now a days they want you sedated or under so you don't feel it. I'm just glad that we3 have insurance to pay for all this!! When I was explaining to Micah last night about the fact that they would give him medicine to make him sleepy Isaiah came to me and said " When are you going to give me medicine to make me sleepy? Why can't I have the sleepy medicine?" I said because you don't have cavities. He doesn't know that he's been under more than his fair share. But he does really well when it comes to needles and medical things. I think he's use to it. I hope Micah is well enough to go to school tomorrow. I know it's hard to stay home even though you are in a little bit of pain. My little boy is not so little anymore he's so big!!

Baby girls is 6mo. already

So at the end of February Sariah turned 6 mo. And so now she is eating solid foods, which I'm not sure why they call them solids because they are so liquefied that you could drink them. But anwho she is eating rice cereal and oatmeal now and some fruits and veggies, and we've yet to find one she doesn't like. Hopefully she will be a good eater like the boys! I took her to the doctor yesterday and these are her stats: weight 14.0 even which is 9% for her age, height 26 in 51% and head is 16.5 in 30%. So she is on the small side but that's o.k. She will just be our littlest one. When Micah was 6mo. he was 21 lbs and he need to go in an upright car seat. The doctor said Sariah could be in an infant seat past her 1st birthday. Sariah is now putting every thing in her mouth and she screams very loud and high pitch. She loves playing with Micah he can make her laugh so hard. As for Isaiah she can only take so much of him he loves her so much that he's a little to rough with her some times, bless his heart! And as for progress with Isaiah and his behavior therapy for his ADHD this week we are working on making it easier for him to clean up his toys without whining and rolling around on the floor. She suggested that we put like toys in bins and only have out about three bins at a time in the room and out the rest up and rotate them every couple of months. And to separate Micah's toy's from Isaiah's. And label Isaiah's bins with pictures so he knows where to put everything. She said kids with ADHD look at a mess of toys and they get overwhelmed and don't know where to begin so it's easier to just not do it. And so we have to consistent in making him clean up his elmo's or his farm animals. We are just working on one thing every two weeks to help him get more focused at home.Micah is now working on counting by fives and tens at school. Math is going really well for him as well as reading. He reads to us every night before bed. And he has a tooth coming in behind his baby teeth so hopefully he will loose the baby tooth soon so they don't have to pull it. I can't believe that my little boy is getting so big! So that's about it for the kids right now, healthy and happy is always good!!

As for Dwayne and I we had Stake Conference last week and we sent the boys to church with my mom so I could sing in the Stake choir and so we could listen this time. 2 hrs is a long time for little kids to sit still especially Isaiah! So it was good we went because most of the talks were about how to make things work even though your in school and you live in the University Village. Funny how most of our Stake presidency and high council lived in the Village while going to school, so they knew what we were going through. And then we heard this one talk from a guy who shared a story that just shows me that what ever I get thrown in my life there are people who have things that re more challenging and they make some how. He said that when he met his wife she had always wanted to adopt children so she started and adoption fund. So after they got married they decided that they would adopt their first child. And so they had enough money to do that from her fund. Then when the little girl was about 1 1/2 they decided to try for one of their own and they got pregnant. The had another little girl. They had always been saving money really well and they said if they ever had the opportunity to adopt siblings they would. So when there second baby was just four months they received a call from the adoption agency telling them that the birth mom for their first daughter was about to deliver a boy and wanted them to adopt him. They looked in their savings account and saw that the had just enough money to cover the legal fees for the adoption. So a week later they brought home a baby boy. So now they have a 2 yr old girl a 7 mo old baby girl and a 3 mo old baby boy. But some how they make it work. And they couldn't be happier about the way their family turned out. I guess the lord was on their side. Because they did all they could and then they relied on the lord he blessed them with the funds to adopt two beautiful children. It really makes me realize that I need to do all I can and the lord will bless me. Even when I think I can't handle it, which is often with my kids!!! Life works different for everyone. I know some of you out there are wondering how come I don't have kids, why can't I get pregnant, why does my kid have problems??? But I feel like you have to trust in the lord and it may not come the way you want or when you want, but the lord knows what's best for you. And if you don't believe in God then what ever it is you believe or don't believe in know that when you do all you can things will work out!!
