Hi Colleen!
I was thinking of you all this week....it was TWO YEARS AGO TODAY that my little eggs were retrieved for IVF....TWO YEARS! Wow!
I'm sorry to hear about your neighbor's boy. You're probably right about that fact that she's not "around to see it". Another thing to consider--he might have a lot of stress--and might be trying to soothe himself (the hair pulling, rocking, etc.) My little sister had issues with hair pulling when she was younger...I've read that comfort objects (like blankeys, etc.) are supposed to be a good soothing helper, so that the child doesn't pull the hair. I'd keep hinting around though...you're right, the earlier it's diagnosed, the better. (Especially if there's a relative with it--you could always recommend that she let her pedi know about the relative, just so he can "keep an eye" on her son, kwim?) That's so tough. I hope she at least gets him checked out soon.
Good luck with the sensory therapy. I hope he gets over it really soon! That has to be frustrating for both of you. I LOVE LOVE LOVE his picture on the bucket! He looks like such a big boy! Where have our little babies gone?
We are down to one nap....most days! We're still dealing with crankiness at dinner time, but it's getting better. Both kids have colds this week, which is tough. But, they are growing and learning so much every day. I'm just amazed at what they can do, even since this summer! They're going to be Raggedy Ann and Andy for Halloween. What are your boys being for Halloween?
I have a little video on the bucket of the kids dancing at a carnival...you should check it out! I posted it back in September. It's hilarious!
I hope the rest of you are good! I would love to hear an update! Tasha, I know you love halloween, right? What is your princess going to be?
Are any of you trying for another baby? I figure that some of you might? I'm happy with my pair, so we're done....for now. ellie is such a busy baby, that I barely have time to cook dinner! I can't imagine having another one right now. Thank GOD that Braeden is more mellow...
