Tired

It's been another hard week. We've all been sick and Zoe-Mai has not been wanting to cooperate. I'm at a loss, I just don't know what to do. She's spent the majority of this week just screaming and throwing major tantrums. Any time Samuel cries, anytime Kenzie or Samuel sneeze or cough, when the truck stops moving, when we get out of the truck, going down for nap. It's getting worse, so bad the other day when we were waiting outside of the school to pick Mackenzie up that her banging her body against the car seat was making my truck shake.

I've been giving her some liquid vitamins and so far she hasn't been able to detect the taste in her milk. Since she won't eat very balanced we have to do something to make sure that she is getting her daily need of vitamins. Its only been two days now, but hopefully the liquid drops will help fill the gaps.

Samuel is getting so big now. He's been talking up a storm and smiling and laughing. I love him so much. I didn't think I would love having a son so much, but he is a blast to be around. He does very little sleeping now during the day, but sleeps really well at night. Here in a month or so he'll probably be ready to go into his own room. I'm hoping that Zoe-Mai is able to make the adjustment to sharing a room with Mackenzie.

That's really all for now. This week hasn't been to exciting and Jeremy is on the road headed to Wyoming again, so I'm here just trying to take care of taxes, customers, and kids. Zoe-Mai has been doing okay this morning so she's giving me a bit of a break. Samuel is asleep so all I really have to worry about is getting taxes done and our mare ready to go this next week to be bred. Only one more day until the weekend.


I am also in the works of assembling a Stimming Video Diary. I've been working hard to get videos of Zoe-Mai and her stimming to put on youtube to help other parents and hopefully educate about these stims. For us, Zoe-Mai was easy to detect, but for other parents their children might be showing all the signs that they aren't picking up on. Autism is growing 10-17% a year in the United States alone, education is key for early detection and getting the help these precious children need.
