Weekend Roundup...

We didn't do too much on Friday.  We started out watching basketball, but then I watched Twilight while Jeff played on the computer.  I hadn't seen it except on the computer, and I had a ton of distractions.  So, it was much better being able to watch it on the TV and all the way through!  Saturday we had to run errands in the morning and then we were going to a friend's birthday party.  I was trying to figure out how to pack Miss Madison's milk.  She was only drinking out of a cup with a lid and straw, and I didn't know how to keep it cold for an extended period of time.  So, I was going through our stash of sippy cups to see what I could come up with.  Miss Madison had come into the kitchen to help me, and I found this one that has a straw for a spout, and the valve is built into the straw.  Well, she loved it!!!  She thought she was sooo big.  She just laughed and drank and drank and drank!!  Here she is drinking out of it for the first time!

Our friends lived about an hour away, and we got into some traffic on the way there that delayed us.  Well, Madison got a little fussy and was hungry.  So, I gave her yogurt nibbles and goldfish.  I would hand her back one at a time.  After we had done this for awhile, I figured she was thirsty, so I handed her back her milk.  Here she is...

We had a good time at the party.  Madison wasn't too sure at first.  She just screamed and screamed when we got there.  I think she just got a little overwhelmed, but by the end, she was having a blast.

Sunday, I washed our towels and sheets.  Well, in the process of taking off the old sheets and putting new on, Nacho decided that he had discovered a new sleeping place...

I wasn't too impressed.  He really didn't want to move.  I thought he would follow Jeff when he left the room, but no!  He was there for the day!!  However, I think I know the reason why he had to find a new place to sleep...

Miss Annie found her a new place to sleep too!!  I did eventually get everyone back to their regular sleeping spots!!

Other than that, not much else happened this weekend.  I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, and then we are meeting with Madison's case manager.  We got assigned a case manager through ECI.  I talked with her on the phone last week, and we are doing what she called an "in take visit" tomorrow.  I think it's just to fill out forms.  She said that Madison would be evaluated within 45 days from the referral...so, mid April to late April.  They will do the evaluation in the home, and then if she does need therapy, they will also do that in the home.  They said their approach is for the therapist to really guide the parent.  So, the therapist would tell me/Jeff what needs to be done, and we would be doing the stuff with Madison.  I think that is the best way.  I don't know how Miss Madison would respond to someone else.  And, I like that it will all be done in our home!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!!
