tmclawchick good for you guys for working with ds. I hope he has a good day today. I wouldn't get too discouraged if he has a few tough days at first since its an adjustment going back. FXFY
csb314, have you looked into a local private school? I know you don't want k-12 anymore but private school gives you much more leniency in the curriculum.
tmclawchick, I've mentioned here that I have ADHD. If you have any questions lmk. My parents really struggled with whether or not to medicate me and my brother. Just keep in mind that if he's getting in trouble a lot he's probably about as stressed as you are.
joi922, if you are taking the BC properly there is only a .01% chance you get pregnant so in some ways it's kinda cool to have that security AND not have you period!

I understand why in the animal kingdom some mothers eat their young. Not DS2 but DS1. That kid gives me so much stress it's unbelievable. I'm not sure what I did in a past life to deserve this, but whatever it was I'm sorry...sigh...

tuscanlatte I'm so sorry that happened and glad you are okay. I need to admit that if I saw that IRL I would probably laugh. Buts it's not to be mean, it's almost like a hysterical, uncontrollable tic when I see people fall. DH has fallen down our basement stairs so many times (they are steep and carperted) and I laugh uncontrollably. I'm probably a bad person.

Haha I had to text DH and tell him about it because I was walking around the mall giggling to myself because I was so embarrassed and I couldn't stop haha.
tuscanlatte, glad you are ok. Like redandblue, I have weird nervous laugh. I don't like it.
The first time I ever responded to a medical emergency outside of a hospital setting, in public, I was so worked up that I fell down an entire flight of stairs and busted open my own knee. It was embarrassing.
So I've extended the sleep training to naps. Except H works from home and is SO FRACKING LOUD ON THE PHONE OMG. He's woken her up twice now from this nap that she cried so hard to achieve. I can't. I just can't.
On the plus side, seems she actually is napping in her crib right now! A new era has begun?
Conference call lasted another 2 hours. Officially the 9th circle of hell. I took a break and went to Target after that (@janetheconquerer I blame you for my new Target obsession). I found so many cute Halloween things for the kids and felt much better about life.

But see, it's the freaking mini pill. If I don't take it PERFECTLY every day I'm going to be worried. I would much rather deal with my period. I'm seriously considering talking to my husband about a tubal.

Thanks for the support all, he dipped down to yellow but then ended the day in green. Hooray! Every day is a little victory I'm meeting with his teacher tomorrow to sort of introduce myself/open lines of communication. Basically to just let her know we're here to support DS and if there's anything we can do to help make this a successful year to please let us know. Looking forward to getting some face time with her.

Yeah I got the arm rod. I can't remember to take a pill so I understand your concern.
csb314, abvintage has a great suggestion with looking at private schools. The amount of full time teaching positions at colleges is shrinking; contract positions have no security and adjunct pay is usually awful.

I understand your BC problems. Being selective wth hormones really limits what you can do. I feel ya. Hence my copper IUD that I'm starting to doubt but only keeping because it's better than nothing for now I guess?
Eta: I SUCKED at the mini pill. It lasted less than two weeks.
M refused to drink anything at daycare today. When I picked him up he drank the milk they had been trying to get him to drink. He finished it in the car and was crying for more. He drank another full cup of water when we got home. I gave him a bath and he was trying to drink the bath water because he was still thirsty. He had another half of a cup of water with dinner and then a bottle of milk. He's clearly thirsty and I have no idea what to do to get him to drink at daycare. He was drinking and just stated refusing about 2 weeks ago. I started taking in one of the cups drinks from at home. They try to give him drink in different places and ways. I'm so worried because he's getting dehydrated. Any advice anyone has would be welcome. Dehydration freaks me out, his fontanelle is sunken. He's still wetting diapers, but only one At daycare today, so that's a total of two. I don't know if I'm having a FTM worry moment or not. His teacher is also worried though.
ampaints he didn't drink from the cup you sent from home either? DD1 wouldn't drink from the daycare cups but was fine when I sent her cup. What about foods with high density of water (watermelon, grapes)? Sorry, it's so tough when they won't eat or drink enough.
noname nope to the cup from home. Even refuses the emergency bottle I keep in his bag. I guess I'll start sending additional snacks in with him, the snacks daycare is providing aren't always hydrating.

ampaints only two wet diapers a day is quite low and it would concern me too. It's not uncommon for kids to refuse milk/water for a few days for a number of reasons but this sounds like much longer and day care specific. Have you mentioned this to your pedi yet?
Is it the same milk at home and daycare? If they leave the water out will he take it on his own to drink (if they aren't right there)? Can you leave something with him at daycare that smells like you?
I'm sorry, I can only imagine how stressful this is for you.
RandomName I haven't called his pedi yet but was thinking about doing so in the morning. They're trying leaving it with him and he just knocks it away. Once in a while he'll fuss at home, but not refusing like he has been doing. They're not supposed to have toys, but I might see if they'll give us an exception for a bit.

Maybe not a toy, could be a blanket that you sleep with overnight or something like that for comfort.
My DS will knock away water but he'll go back and get it when he wants it. That might be hard at daycare to be sure only he drinks it. But could be worth trying.
