It's Thursday again already! All of our activities were on this week, so we got back into our schedule. I was very overwhelmed until Carmie's psychologist told me on Monday that I am expecting too much from myself and to create their schedule over the course of a fortnight, and spread the activities we do out. It made me relax a little more and not worry so much about school work and filling their days, because their days are really really full!
We had horse riding and Taekwon Do, and Clint, and OT and Wolfpack this week. Arley also went to the dentist on Monday and got more exercises to do as part of his program. Today I had to take him to a chiropractor, as part of his dental plan. As his teeth and jaws move, she will be releasing the pressure in his cranium, and basically making his dental program work better. I had never been to a chiropractor before, and I had lots of questions for her. Before Arley's session, I warned her that he might come across as rude, that he has no understanding of hierarchy. She said she would just ignore it. I was not wrong! The first thing she said was, "Hey dude, jump up on the bed here." He looked at her totally deadpan and said, "Don't call me Dude." Haha. She was amazing though. He had all kinds of things off with his body, including one arm presenting as too short, and his pelvis is all out of alignment, something called Category II. She did all kinds of pretzel moves on him and it was pretty cool to see his body change in one session. At the end, she said to me, "Oh my God, he was so rude! I love him!" Haha, it looks like I found the right chiropractor. Which is a good thing, because Arley has to see her twice a week for the next six weeks, and then weekly after that. I have Carmie booked in to see her next week, as I think the chiropractor might have some good insight into Carmie's posture issues and clumsiness. Fingers crossed.
Jeff and Arley are going camping overnight with Clint this weekend, and Carmie and I are having a girls night. I am so looking forward to it!
