Not that I relish the idea of another doctors appointment but I'm taking Gavin into his pediatrician this afternoon.  The issues he's facing with his bladder are such that I want to make sure we rule out any type of infection. It was ruled out a few months back but his symptoms have gotten much worse and so I'm wanting to make sure everything is still okay.  I'll pick up the boys after school and take them to my Mom.. She's gonna hangout with them while I take Gavin.  I'm pretty sure that today's appointment will show that there's no infection but if there's a chance, I want to rule it out. Gavin needs relief ASAP and this is something I can do while waiting to get into the Cleveland…

I've been talking lately about how Gavin has reverted back to pointing with his middle finger. This is something he used to do when he was younger but we finally moved past it and it's been many years since he's done this.  Since this started up again, I've been trying to snag a picture of him doing this so I can show him what it looks like and why it's a problem.  I finally was fast enough today and while it's a bit blurry, I think you'll see what it is I'm trying to break him of doing. The only reason I even caught this image today is because he was doing this constantly throughout the day.  He doesn't realize he's doing this but the world around him takes notice…

The boys are sorta having a rougher day. Nothing outwardly horrible but struggle is in the air, especially when it comes to Gavin. This kid is really, really struggling.  I don't know what has triggered this period of decline but he's requiring constant supervision and every last ounce of patience I can squeeze out.  He's also creating more work for me because he seems incapable of following directions right now and so I'm having to follow along behind him and clean up his messes.  This is really annoying but more so, it's sad. Heartbreaking is probably a better choice of words because that's exactly what it feels like. 😦
