Wow,
I have a few things that I would like to point out. We have had such a crazy weekend around here and have been crazy busy. I have been taking notes and have a short in which to record them, so I will do my best, although I might have to revise them later.
Thursday and Friday were hard days for Lauren to focus. We had some upsets to our normal routine, which posed a few problems in her SPARK. I am grateful for this, as this will be a glimpse into what we will experiance in the future.
Lauren has been pretty good up to this point in taking her SPARK even though it was tough to get her to drink it sometimes without the bribe of 1/6 of a peice of Stride gum.
Thursday she surprised her daddy as we sat down to talk after dinner, and she sat down by daddy to trace her abc letters with a marker. She did the whole alphabet without wiping the previous letter off. She has never done this before, usually she is more caught up in the erasing of the letters than actually tracing them. We thought this was pretty significant in her progress.
Friday, she went with her older sister to go and watch some movies and play with some family friends of ours, unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to get her to drink her SPARK, and therefore have no evidence of what went on, Although the family she went with told us that she was delightful and that they would do that again. They spoiled them with McDonalds and skittles, sugar high.... oh my.
Saturday was the third of July and it was full of fun and activities and a whole lot of driving around. Lauren had a hard time settling down to a nap. It was really difficult for her brain to shut down. I wonder how this will affect her at school, and weather or not we will be able to get her to take a needed nap after she gets home to wind down.
All, in all, we have been pretty satisfied with her development, but notice that she is having a hard time staying in her bed at night. She seems to be up a few times a night, whether it is sleep walking or what not, we don't know. We do agree that she needs to get a better night's sleep, and we need to weigh the importance of good sleep with school work.
