School Daze...

First of all, sorry for my lack of updates lately! We've been showing the house nearly every other day and we've had many dr and therapy appointments this month as well! I can't believe it's almost the end of January...We are getting excited about moving. Let's all hope I can post a SOLD SIGN soon!!!

We saw Jack's neurologist earlier this month -- and got a good report. No medicine changes or anything this time. Short and sweet -- and I hope it stays that way! We go back in 4 months for blood work and another check up.

Jack also saw his eye doctor and we are now patching the right eye 6 hours a day...poor Jack, he hates it but he's tolerating it fairly well. We will go back in a month for another exam. We are still hoping to avoid surgery.

We had his evaluation for preschool this morning...he was such a good boy. We had to go to a new building and meet new people and Jack jumped right in and started showing them all he can do. There's actually one final meeting set for next month that will determine how long he'll go and for how many days a week. He'll be getting OT, PT, ST, and vision therapy as well as class time when he goes to school. There's even a yellow bus that can come pick him up and everything!!! I haven't agreed to that yet -- I figured I'd want to drop him off the first few times and then, perhaps, I'll consider the bus. Our baby Jack isn't a baby any more...time to start calling him big boy Jack!

He unfortunately had a bad tummy ache for a few days...Although when he was cranky I didn't know it was his stomach that hurt. It turns out he was severely constipated...it seems I need to find a new balance for the Miralax...either he gets too much or too little and both aren't good. I am probably going to try a half dose every day vs. a full dose every other day. Keep your fingers crossed for his little tummy.

Jack now weighs 26 pounds and is 35 inches tall! That's pretty good growing -- even though he's still on the small side for his age. His appetite has been great and he continues to eat and eat and eat! A new favorite is "big kid" cereal. He's enjoying corn pops and honey combs! LOL. He also had his first Oreo Cookie dipped in milk the other night. The look on his face was priceless. Almost as if he couldn't believe anything could taste quite that good! He was a chocolatey mess -- way too cute!

I also realized I haven't taken any new pictures since Christmas! I have to get on the ball here -- or there won't be any January 2006 photo album! That would be a first. So for now, here's one of the little family on Christmas Day.
