We've been seeing an LMHC for Ian in order to get him diagnosed for a 504 plan. There is some confusion, however, regarding who has what paperwork and what actually has to be filled out for what reasons. Seeing as his IEP Exit meeting is scheduled for the 27th of this month, I really hope someone figures out what the hell I'm supposed to do. I can only ask the same questions to the same people so many times before I start getting bitchy, and I don't want to finish the year on a bad note. Seems like no one has a clear understanding of what has to happen.

This woman is great. Our first "challenge" was working on a bedtime routine because Ian seems to have a rough time settling in for the night. He's up and down at least 5 times, out in the livingroom asking questions and "giving one more hug and kiss," and generally being a pain in the ass. We've implemented a new nighttime routine with very little change in what we had been doing previously, and so far it's been wonderful! Each night he's in his bed at 8:15pm, lights and games off at 8:30pm, and he's sound asleep by 9pm with absolutely no leaving his room and no talking. It's been heaven! Granted it's only been 3 nights, but that's 3 more successful nights then I thought he'd have!

I'm having a tough time dealing with this situation regarding Roo. I'll be fine, but then I'll get this crushing panic that sets in and I feel like I can't breath. I was sitting on the couch today just looking at her, and I just kept repeating "How can something so perfect have something wrong?" I spent extra time cuddling her and playing with her today. She has had a fever on and off all day and didn't seem to be herself.

I've never wanted a weekend to be over so badly!
