Busy, Busy - Orthopedist for Liam and Stroller News

Wow! Things have been crazy around here. I am so behind on everyone's blogs and I haven't posted in awhile.

First off, we're all still getting over a cold. All of us: Leo, the boys, Phoebe, Niki. Lots of nose blowing and coughing. I have a humidifier on in the boys room and it helps keep their cough loose.

Last Thursday, we had an appointment for Liam with the orthopedist to look for any signs of hip dysplasia that might impact his not wanting to crawl yet. There was good news and more good news. Good news #1 - no signs of hip dysplasia. Good news #2 - the orthopedist wants to see him in three months to follow up on how his torticolis is doing (a tight neck muscle - he holds his head tilted to the left). It's so nice to have that follow up with a specialist on that and that Liam was acting very much himself for the doctor. Meaning that Liam's fine if you touch his legs or his hips, but start touching his hands, arms, neck or head and he'll freak out. He did it for the doctor, so it was nice for us to have a specialist in the movement of body parts to see he hates to have those parts of his body controled or touched. So we go back July 15th to see that doctor.

We did get the stroller. I have to upload the pics in the computer. I love it! We did get the Maclaren Twin Techno and it's fabulous!

Last but not least, I'm excited about this weekend. I'm going to do an MS Walk on my friend's team. I'll post my link later to ask for donations, because if anyone of you might even possibly donate to our team that would be great!

Anyway, I have to run to a meeting at work, so I'll be back soon!

Hey! Great news for Liam! We have jsut started going to an OT for torticollis for Zane. He tilts his head to the left as well! He also does not like us touching his neck much. We have exercises that we are doing at home.

Stopping the Voices in my Head - aka Mastering my Mindset

The more I work on my personal development, the more I realize I need to stop listening to and changing the negative things I tell myself in my head.  I'm also noticing the older I get the more the negative things I hold as beliefs about myself are not true.  This reinforces that I should second guess the other negative beliefs I hold inside ... maybe those are not true either.  Here are a few things I've realized are not true: I need help to put air in my car tires - This was one of the first things I learned as my husband had to move to Colorado for work. I did this at the Wawa up the street where the machine will stop and beep when your tires are at the right pressure.  I also learned and committed to memory that the pressure you want your tires at is inside your gas cap, something I have to open at least once a week.  This was something that was super easy to learn to do and had me zipping along the roads in a few minutes without the anxiety...

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...

Phoebe's Fifth Grade School Picture

Here's Phoebe's 5th Grade School Picture.  I really like her in red or bright colors.  She's definitely becoming quite the little lady.
