Ugh, stressed! We are moving house on March 31st (Jeff's birthday, poor thing!). We found out two days ago that we were approved for a new rental property, so we are moving! It is crazy expensive, as are all rentals right now, but it's a nice place, and it ticks all our boxes. We were able to take the kids through yesterday because Alrey is having a bit of anxiety over moving. It didn't help much, because pretty quickly the kids started fighting over bedrooms, so we drew straws, and Arley lost. He can't quite get over it and he's had a bit of a bad morning. He had food therapy this morning and he was noncooperative. He's pretty sad :(
And now we are stepping around moving boxes again! Moving is the worst!
Mum and Geoff are settled in to their new home. We spent Tuesday up at their place, in between Arley's Taekwon Do and the kids' horse riding. Poor Arley - he was very excited to go to Taekwon Do this week because he was getting graded. He was testing to receive his green stripe on his yellow belt. Five minutes in, the poor bugger got one of his severe bloody noses. It was a real gusher, and it took 25 minutes to staunch. It was on his uniform and his belt. Mr Kelly had to go soak his belt to get the blood out. Arley's grading test was a bust, but Mr Kelly still gave him his green stripe and his certificate, because he has earned it. Arley is proud, but he was quite upset about not being able to participate. And, it was a little mortifying as well!
Carmie had her paediatric podiatrist appointment this week. She has hyperextension in some joints in her feet, as well as her knees, and she is going to have to get some orthopedic heel inserts for her shoes. The podiatrist is communicating with her physio so they can come up with an exercise plan to strengthen her legs, as well as her posture.
I took Arley to the dentist on Wednesday and they used this camera to make a 3D model of his mouth. The dentist thinks that a lot of Arley's ADHD behaviours will improve or even disappear once we get his mouth and therefore his breathing fixed. Arley will be starting weekly appointments to start the exercise part of the program, and he'll be fitted with a myobrace too. I just hope he is able to do everything he needs to - if he is off kilter, it is near impossible to get him to do anything!
We had Zach over for dinner on Tuesday night. Tuesdays are going to be our weekly Zach dinner. It is nice having him around. He plays games with Arley, and plays Yahtzee with me after dinner. The kids are really enjoying having more family around. Arley asks to see his Lolo and Dida every single day. Sadly I am too busy right now with packing to take him there! :(
