This week has flown by. Arley had a couple of bad days - Sunday was particularly difficult. He is so impulsive, and he gets so stressed and angry, poor guy. On Friday I took him up to see the new doctor I found, and I am so glad I did. This doctor is great, really understanding and full of knowledge. He's getting Arley on some anxiety meds, because he says the anger is just a manifestation of anxiety, that's all it is. He was hesitant at first, but at the end of our hour-long consult, he determined it's the best thing. I'm heading back up tomorrow with both kids, so I can get the script for Arley and let him meet Carmie too, to see if he can figure out what's going on in that big brain of hers.
Again we went to Collers Beach, and to all of the usual activities. I am so looking forward to spring coming next week, I am over this cold weather. We have suddenly had a cold snap today, and it is supposed to start raining heavily soon. Our carer Wes just look the kids out to the skate park and to lunch, which gave me two hours of peace (if you call housework peaceful!).
The kids and I got our hair cut this week. I always go to my friend who is a hair dresser, because she understands Arley. He hates any clips being put in his hair, and he gets really angry because he doesn't like to look different, and he thinks shorter hair makes him look like a baby. I think it's because we used to buzz his head when he was young. So he gets pretty rude to the hair dresser. Carmie looks super cute, even if people think she is a boy! There have been some very confused kids in their social skills class, finding out half way through the course that the boy they have been hanging out with is a girl :/ It doesn't seem to bother her a bit though, as long as she doesn't have to deal with knots in her hair.
I am exhausted - I had a rotten night's sleep last night, between the palm tree outside dropping things on our roof, and Bella making weird noises as she dreams all night. I can't wait to crawl into bed tonight. At 11pm. After three hours of work. Poor me.
