Going to bed early. Lizze is staying up for a bit but I have had it. Gavin has no school Monday so that's going to be exciting. Tax return is Friday and we can order a new mattress. Can't decide between Temperpedic and the mattress factory. Hopefully this week goes quickly..... Lost and Tired Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®

Emmett John was up screaming all night again. In a desperate attempt to survive I sent out a has text to my family for help. Most everyone was working today and my dad had a funeral. I did get a call for Jon. Brian, Jon and Teri came and picked up Elliott Richard for a few hours. Everyone got a break today for a while. Thanks guys....

Emmett John is really starting to struggle with his challenges. The past few night he wakes up hysterical. It takes hours to get him to settle down. Still learning sign language. Slowly. Lost and Tired Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®

Lizze has an appointment now and I am home with the kids. Gavin is having a great day and is napping. Elliott Richard is in our room watching Noggin. Emmett John is sleeping in the office. I'm buried under 2 dogs playing worms 2 on the 360. So far so good. Lost and Tired Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®

On the Emmett John front we made some progress. He has finally begun using some of the signs we are teaching him. He signed "daddy" last night. It was amazing!!! We won't get into the children's hospital until March. His ped. Is working to get him in quicker. Lost and Tired Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®

We went to pick up Gavin from school expecting the worst. We pick him up and find he had a perfect day after the meltdown when he first got there. We are both floored by this. Honestly I expected the worst day ever. Good job making great choices Gavin. Hopefully it carries thru the weekend. Lost and Tired Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®

So today is jeans day at Gavin's school. Gavin doesn't like jean so we got permission for him to wear his tan cargo pants. Gavin came down this morning in some camouflage pants. He can't wear those because the bother some of the other kids (it's a pattern thing). All I did was explain that to him and he exploded. it was so bad that Elliott Richard wet himself and the dog wet the floor. He also broke a stair tread on his way upstairs. I went up after him to calm him down which was a waste of time and precious energy. I showed him the pants he was allowed to wear. I also told him if he didn't control himself that he would wear his regular school pants…
