He Woke Up Happy Today... I Didn't Expect This

        So this morning actually turned out to be a good morning. My son woke up in a good mood. I even got cuddles in this morning and he stayed dry all night. We have been doing our best to potty train him and get him to wear underwear more then pull-ups. For those who understand, pull-ups are getting expensive, even the small packs/boxes. He has even figured out a way to use the potty without having the toilet lid up all the way. He is almost all the way healed down there so we don't have to worry too much anymore.

       I am still in a good mood. What my son actually ate today is two bowls of cereal. One bowl of protein cheerios and one bowl of KIX. Yes, that is how it is spelt. I will be needing to brush his teeth before we head to his dental appointment which will be a pain in my royal butt. He does not sit still and they are going to be getting X-RAYS done on him to see his teeth better. He has some pretty straight teeth and from what I can tell some very healthy teeth. I have gum disease problems that I got from my mom. I am hoping and praying that my son does not get that from me.

    I have also recently found out that I am pretty much ADHD and ASD. Just undiagnosed. My son is ASD and ADHD tendencies. He has an IEP at school which helps him a lot and I am very happy about that. Speaking of his IEP, on the 30th of this month I have a meeting with his teacher and the principle about his progress and what might need to be changed for his learning.

    I am hoping the day goes better and stays better the rest of the day. I just need to get through the dental appointment, try to get some things sold to have some extra money and get meds from the pharmacy. I will be doing my best to find a part time job while my son is in school so I can start bring in money.

    Stay strong everyone and keep your heads up. If you drink coffee: Always keep the cup full. Talk with everyone later.

Yesterday Was Chaos..... Today was better

      Today has been so much better then yesterday. I found out I am neurodivergent as my BHC (Behavioral Health Councilor) told me. I can get tested but finding the right neuropsychologist in-network with the health insurance is a struggle. Before that appointment was my son's IEP conference at his school. That was very interesting. A lot has happened and finding out that he is doing very well in school is nice to see/hear.     From all of that, I was drained just being around other people, having to talk with other people. I did however get some cooking done. After that I spent time with my husband while my son was asleep at his bedtime. He has been having no nap days.     Today, I got a lot of cleaning done while my son played. I did spend some time with him while I was going through a lot of clothes. I found a full garbage bag worth of clothes that he does not fit in anymore. Now all his clothes fit in the small dresser. I even organized my clothes...

How I am Building a Morning Routine With My Toddler

<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3284938032076114" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>          Waking up early isn’t always a walk in the park. I’ve started rising at 5:50 AM to carve out just 10 precious minutes for myself before waking my son at 6 AM. Once the day kicks off, it’s all about the routine. I brew my black coffee and prepare breakfast for my husband while getting my son’s meal ready. He has three cereal options: Protein Cheerios Cinnamon, Plain Cheerios, and Kix. More often than not, he opts for the Protein Cheerios, which is great since he could use the extra protein. He’s been a picky eater since he was little.      His go-to foods include cereal, homemade mac and cheese, a slice of block cheese, peanut butter, goldfish crackers, and on very rare occasions, some candy or animal crackers—oh, and let’s not forget the peanut butter pancakes. Some might...

Easy Pancake Breakfast for Picky Toddlers (Simple Family Meal)

      So I got up at my normal time today and I was still very tired. The reason behind it is because my husband woke up at 3:30AM and my son got up at 4:10AM. That was not easy on me. My husband made pancakes this morning for me and my son. That was a nice surprise for me. Also he got my son to eat some pancakes. The way he made it he actually liked. Pancake, peanut butter and protein cheerios together. He ate half of it.     He had chicken nuggets for dinner and the rest of his breakfast for lunch. For my breakfast I got two pancakes, two fried eggs and a cup of black coffee mixed of my coffee and his coffee. That actually kind of put me to sleep even more. Today has been a pretty good day for me and a some what good day for my kiddo. It has been a long day but it is almost Monday. Now on Monday my son has a dental appointment and I already know that will not go well.     I got a couple of walks in today which felt nice. My son got to spend some time...
