463 + 359 Weeks

This week all seems like a bit of a blur, and I can't believe it's Thursday again already!  I don't think we took the kids anywhere this past weekend.  We were supposed to go hiking on Saturday, and we had the kids all prepped up (we need to give warnings for a good two days to get Arley comfortable with the idea), but then we woke up to surprise rain showers.  And then I can't quite remember why we didn't go anywhere on Sunday.  I have been busy going through our closets and purging things, getting ready for our move, even though we don't have a moving date yet.  We (annoyingly) are still waiting on the buyers to finalise their side of the paperwork, and when they do, it will be ten weeks from there.  So at this point we are looking at the beginning of August, which seems like such a long wait!

The kids have been a little full-on this week.  Arley in particular, of course.  We have had some pretty bad days.  I have set up appointments to start getting him reassessed.  It is so silly here.  I have to have an appointment with our GP to get a referral to our paediatrician, to get a referral to the assessing psychologist.  Such a dumb, lengthy process.  I tried going directly to the psychologist, but no bueno.  We won't get in to see her until the end of June/ beginning of July, so we have a while before we get help, although I do have an appointment with Arley's OT tomorrow, and she will be referring us to a different psychologist for ongoing sessions.  This is pretty full-on, and pretty exhausting, but we have to do something.  My poor beautiful sensitive little boy thinks he is a bad boy, and that is just not OK.  He is so impulsive, things happen before he can even have a chance to think about it.  I’ve got to get him some additional help.

Carmie's teeth still haven't fallen out.  One is so loose that it is seriously dangling, and you can see the entire top of the tooth, and it waggles when she talks.  It is so off-putting, and she is having  trouble eating, but we still can't convince her to pull it out.  It is really gross!

We had a tea party for the rats this week.  It sounds silly, but it was really fun.  We were giving the kids' tiny tea set away to charity, so we wanted to give it a whirl one more time.  The rats didn’t have very good manners, but they enjoyed it!  Haha, so did we.

We have about five days of rain forecast, so it looks like we won’t be getting out this coming weekend either.  I wish we had taken advantage of the beautiful weather while it was here!

More super hero fun.
