How old is your big kid? What grade? Just turned 7 in 1st grade
How did your big kid enjoy the time off for the holidays? He liked having nothing to do and my brother came to stay for one of the weeks to watch him and hike H and I were at work. L loves his uncle and was sad to see him go.?
What was your big kid's favorite gift? The Funko Pop action figures
Does your big kid independently dress/shower/make lunch, etc? If so, do you have to assist in any areas? If not, have you started working on those things with them? L gets dressed independently and showers independently but does not make his own food unless it's something quick that he can just grab like a yogurt or fruit. Everything else would require the oven or the microwave. We don't feel comfortable with him using the oven independently yet and the microwave is a built in that's high up above the stove.
QOTW: What is something your big kid is looking forward to in 2017? Going to visit my parents for 2 weeks during summer vacation.
Update on L: H and I had the initial meeting with his psychologist and we really like her. We saw his pediatrician today and got a prescription for the lowest possible dose of an ADHD medication and we will call back in a week to let her know how it's going. She will adjust the dosage/medication as needed. We will have to watch L and make sure he eats because he will probably not be hungry during the day when he is on the medication.
