We didn't get up to too much this week. We had a lovely-ish beach day with Nicky, Lexi and Felix on Tuesday. It was beautiful there, and really great until we had a bit of melted and spilt ice-cream drama, Arley started yelling at an already upset Carmie and Carmie had a melt down and ran away. Yep, I couldn't find her, and I had a very harrowing five to ten minutes. Deep down I knew she was fine, but still I couldn't stop the blind panic. A woman who works at the Surf Club started helping me search, and she went to make an announcement in the club when she found Carmie right outside it. Carmie had walked down to the car, discovered it locked and then was just hanging out until she got calm. Which is fine, except that I didn't know where she was! Ugh, I hate that feeling. I got a horrible stress headache which lasted most of the afternoon.
Yesterday we had plans to meet up with Nicky again at the rock climbing centre, but Carmie didn't sleep well the night before, so we had to cancel. Poor Carms didn't sleep well last night either. She was awake from midnight to 4am. Her new paed has her on some medicine which was originally knocking her out and making her groggy, but for the last three nights it hasn't been working. I think she has the doctors a little stumped.
Jeffrey had today off work, so we took the kids to the Buderim waterfall, which is only 10 minutes from our house. It was lovely down there, and good to get into nature. Arley can only last so long in environments like that, so we explored a little and then came back home. It was pretty noisy there because of the waterfall, and it was getting hot, two things which set Arley off.
Both kids had their mentors come this week and that went well. Arley's paediatrician has put him on a higher dose of Ritalin, and today was his second day. He is very very chatty on it! And lately Arley has been asking to go out in the mornings, because he needs to 'bust time'. I don't let him on screens before 1pm, so he has discovered that going out makes time go faster. This is a big win for us.
I have found an equine centre for the kids. It has a wait list though, so she is going to try to get them in over the school holidays and then slot them in next year. I also have signed us up for tennis lessons again, at 7:30 on Friday monrings. This is SO early for us! Arley was pretty mad. Our first lesson is tomorrow. Send me positive vibes, somehow I have to get the kids out the door by 7:10am. Oh my god, what have I done!
