How is your big kid doing? He is struggling and so are we. He has been showing a lot of the signs of ADD/ADHD or something else similar for awhile but we wanted to wait and see if it was a phase of not being an only child. At this point we are past the 'it's a phase' time frame and we are scheduling appointments with his Pediatrician, a psychologist, and the team of people st his school to get him evaluated and get a plan in place. He has been falling behind in school as well so I am hoping that a diagnosis and treatment plan will help get him back on track.
Does your big kid have any recitals/class parties/etc. at school that you can or cannot attend? H and I both work 45 minutes to an hour away so it's hard for us to attend anything like that unless we take the full day off. There was a school recital but just for the drama club kids.
What is on your big kid's holiday wish list this year?
F-ing Hatchimals, which we are not getting because it's a waste of money. Otherwise he wants a bunch of those Funko Pop action figures.
Do you do any charitable donations/giving/acts of kindness around the holidays? If so, what is it and does your big kid get involved? I try to give to the angel tree every year but this year we aren't really getting a chance because of all the hospital bills from my accident, then S's birth, H's accident, purchasing 2 new cars, and a long list of other unexpected expenses in just the last month. I feel bad but it's just not possible this year.
I am trying to make it up by donating some breast milk in the next month or so. I just need to get my blood test and then drop off my 100 ounces after I am cleared.
