Things we are happy for this last week:
- Quinn is going to bed between 8-9pm and waking up between 7-8am. The dr said he should be sleeping 10-12 hours, but we will take what we can get! he whines and cries a little throughout the night so he is not getting a solid night sleep and wakes up very tired though, so we will be talking to the dr about it when we see her tomorrow.
- Quinn sometimes lets me or paul leave the room with out a melt down. He had two really great days and then the last two days have been awful. complete melt downs to the extent of tantrums so bad he poops and doesn't even know where he is. poor thing. Having the two good days lets us know its possible though.
- We went out to eat 3 times! Good day cafe, noodles and mc d's. he was such a good little boy. almost no food on the ground, no tantrums or crying, little mess and made new friends. :) I love the little dinner rubber place mat- and his trough of a bib - helps a lot! its good to know we can go out to eat at famiy- friendly places. maybe our old life is not completely gone. even if it changes as I am sure it will, its a nice break for now. Since he eats anything we put in front him, it makes it easy for a last minute pit stop.
- I am able to sooth him when he is upset. meltdwns and separation anxiety excluded.
- Something as simple as music on the radio makes him happy, we are cheesemates and musicmates (he loves a good beat just like his mom!)
- Paul and I make a good team. We seem to take turns having our own meltdowns.
