So, yesterday I took Madison to the child neurologist to see if they'd have anything to say about her behaviors. So far we are pretty sure she'll have an ADHD diagnosis with inattention when she's older, likely with Auditory Processing, but they can't really give her any official diagnosis until she's older with that. They wrote up a form with things for her IEP so that she can keep as many services as she can. So far it looks like she's losing speech. She passed with flying colors.
The doctor also told me to start giving Madison melatonin at night since Madison doesn't go to bed until 12 usually, despite our efforts to get her to sleep earlier. She lives on about 3 hours of sleep which isn't very healthy at all. We started giving her the melatonin and now she's falling asleep by 8:30 and sleeping through the night. Our bed has been Madisonless in the morning. It's kind of fantastic. Good stuff!!
I'm very excited for next Saturday. Mike and I are going out on our first REAL date since... likely well before Lily was born. Our first entire night out since we went to a wedding... uhh. August in 2010. So... yeah. It's about time. Not that I don't ever want to go out, but... well. I don't get asked to leave my house a lot and Mike and I haven't ever used a babysitter so I'm nervous about it.
I started a new blog and a new diet. You guys should head over to www.2fatties1rack.com to check it out. The URL is creepy, but it's not a bad site! I swear. :)
Ok- I was going to blog more, but I just realized I have 20 minutes to get in the car so I can be at personal training on time. ... Let's see if I'm getting two children and myself ready in 20 minutes.
