Today has been such a nice day, the best day of the week. Jeff and I took the kids to Australia Zoo this morning. It was so nice to get out somewhere that wasn't a therapy! Arley was a little dysregulated, but we got through it, and had a lovely morning. The weather is amazing - a little chilly in the mornings and evenings, and absolutely beautiful during the day. Perfect.
We've had a good week. We had family sports day again on Sunday morning, and I was absolutely terrible at hitting the ball. Even Lolo was better than me! Haha. On Monday I took Arley back to the dentist, and I'm happy to say, our appointments are fortnightly from now on instead of weekly. His teeth seem to be changing slightly, and he is breathing better through his nose. Both kids also saw the chiropractor on Monday too, and she said she can feel differences in them too.
On Tuesday we had Taekwon Do and horse riding. Arley refused to get on a horse, because he was too hungry, and mad at me that I hadn't packed him any snacks (insert eye roll!). Instead, Lisa and I walked him out into the paddock to visit the other horses, and it was so lovely. The horses all came over to see us, and Arley loved it and forgot all about his hunger and grumpiness. Meanwhile Carmie was trotting around at her lesson, so everything turned out OK in the end.
Carmie went to her girls' social group yesterday, and there were four other girls there, which is so good. She needs the interaction so badly, and she had a good time. She is still teaching her Procreate class on Fridays, and one of the girls is in her class too.
I have had more time on my hands and have been painting again, which is making me very happy. I hope things can stay this way, but sadly I'm doubtful!
