A funny thing about kids, you get one to bed and another wakes up. You get that kid to bed and another wakes up. Inky had been sick and so he really wasn't sleeping well and I knew once he was better he would go back to bed again, but at least Binky was sleeping. NOW Binky is awake and Inky is sleeping. So I thought I would write while, the other one thinks I am going to get him his Ipod, I am hoping that by waiting he will get so bored he will fall asleep. We shall see
I went to this conference that the Region of Binky's school district put on for special needs parents, it is a wonderful thing to have available to us. I spent most of my chosen session in ones that had meltdown or frustration in the title. I did do a Potty training lunch bunch meeting,Yep it sounds gross talking about potty training while eating lunch but I was the weird girl who would watch operations and eat at the same time.
For Inky's potty training, I am going to set up a DVD player in the bathroom and a toy box just for the bathroom, also going to take some data and see if I can see when Inky is going potty and try to time it. The whole thing was very helpful.
For Binky's homework issues we are going to buy a desk and set up a homework station in his room. For meltdowns and other issues we are going to have to do a visual schedule, I always thought that with Binky being verbal that I didn't need to do that, but it turns out Binky needs the visual to fall back on. He can understand words, he just can't keep what I am telling him in his head.
There was even something in the conference for hubby and me, one of the presenters told us, "Parents you need to make a time once a month for three hours for YOURSELF, and once a month or every two months, you need to make a DATE night." So this Thursday I am throwing hubby out. He does so much, like let me go to an all day conference and he watched the kiddos, he needs to be by himself, and relax.
Well I hear a little something upstairs and I am hoping it is Binky finally going to sleep. At least I got the crazier Inky asleep. Binky I can handle.
