Oh, in that case, yeah, it doesn't matter. Sorry, no context, was just popping in and related to have two 9 year old girls!

You might convince your girls to go earlier (RD) if that is what is holding you back. My girls were 8/8/6 last year. There is a picture in the Color Companion to the Unofficial Guide that shows the...

I've done no alcohol when pregnant/nursing and also when TTC. Whenever I knew a cycle didn't work out, heavy drinking. ;)

Alcohol is all empty calories, so it makes sense to cut it back, all the...

I found a link with statistics about spinal cord injuries caused by diving into shallow pools: http://www.hcmc.org/depts/em/divingandwatersafety.htm



1,000 per year in the US, or 40 times as...

We've been discussing this on another board. This death is very tragic, very sad. However, it is interesting that the title of the post, and many news articles, say "drowned". There are several...

Just a couple things ...

If SIL is already pregnant, she will be more than 4 months along in June ... that is 4 months away, and women don't even know they are pregnant themselves until at least a...

Useful information, we might use it in the future if she needs it. Her processing speed seems dependent on whether she gets some movement in immediately before or not. The test that she scored 40th...

We had our IEP meeting yesterday and signed off on the plan. In a nutshell, each month Sydney will get 90 minutes of speech therapy, 80 minutes of OT, and 80 minutes of PT. They are addressing...

We have a GE Profile french door fridge. Do not go with this brand, it is HORRIBLE! It freezes half the food in the fridge. Closing one door pops the other open, so you have to watch every time...

We had the meeting this morning. They found her eligible for services due to having a speech disability. She is at-risk or borderline for some other things, but the door for other services is open...

She does have attention issues, though it seems they are related to her SPD issues. She needs to get so much input before she can focus, then she sometimes wears herself out getting all that input,...

Thank you, Trudy, that helps.

Update: Sydney forgot to bring home the eval the day they gave it to her, which of course was the last day of school before Christmas break. Today was the first day back, so I took the girls to...

Update: we have a meeting on Tuesday 1/8 with the team at school, the first day back after break. I just got off the phone with the school psychologist, about Sydney. She is sending home a draft...

I remember contemplating long and hard about getting a hard drive for my first computer, as it didn't have one at all. I was a poor college student and gianormous 16MB hard drives were several...

Coincidentally, while doing my Cyber Monday shopping, I bought Sydney a fashion vest just because I thought she'd like it. I might toy with pinning some weights on the inside somehow to see how it...

I sometimes take vacation time to sit home and "do nothing", though that usually matches up to when my kids don't have school, so nothing is a misnomer. I sometimes do projects around the house, I...

And you have APs? For shame! For shame! :RpS_laugh:

Who are those 50% of American workers that don't use all of their pitifully small vacation time?

I Googled weighted vests. The first thing that came up was a 40lb. weighted exercise vest. Umm, I don't think that will work on my 46lb. girl. :RpS_flapper: Then I saw some pretty fugly obvious...

Heck, if dozens of small children can manage to stick gum to the bottom of desks, surely I can get in there with some velcro, eh?

Sydney's OT recommended putting therapy tubing bands on the front legs of her chair, same idea. She has some, but thanks for offering to look it up. Another idea is to put the scratch side of...

Perfect! I can teach her that, though I'm not sure she is understanding when it is she needs it. It is definitely worth putting a little effort in there, even if it's me telling her to do it every...

I'd send a sensory seat cushion in now if it would be allowed. I suppose I could ask. The school provided one last year, but we've since acquired 3 of them at home, 1 can go to school. A weighted...

Yes. Wholeheartedly. I don't so much care what they call Sydney's "diagnosis" as long as they give her the services or accommodations that help her with what she is struggling with. Or at least...
