dyk I know you'll get that car ride activities thing under control -- I have you to thank for many of the things that we do for the kids

dyk their favorites are the maps (which we've used repeatedly and have gotten quite fancy! lol) and the car ride tickets that they have to turn in to me to get to stay in the car! haha

dyk Abi's 2nd grade binder is complete

dyk I had been pretty intentional about what I kept and where (in the folder and manilla envelopes it all came home from school in) and so it wasn't too hard to hole punch and get into a binder

dyk it starts with the 2nd grade info specific to her class, then her IEP and then (everything is behind a tab) her 504 and all info packets, parental rights and signed consents, then example of "pre-IEP work" and then "post IEP work" and in the back pocket is her AR reading point reports

dyk the binder is FULL

dyk we are having Christmas at home -- but my mom has asked me about coming to their house xmas day -- after we do our xmas morning

dyk and I don't know what I was thinking but I said of course

dyk yett, the entire time I was planning the christmas dinner at our house

dyk the kids love when we do a fancy table with the food ON the table -- that makes it a party haha

dyk so my mom saw my facebook post and called me

dyk I had meant all day to call her and tell her we would like to do xmas eve at their house, then xmas morning her and they are invited over whenever they wanted

dyk she said my dad was clucking around (he literally struts around babbling and commenting like a chicken it's hysterical) talking about a ham and I said, "well he's more than welcome to make the ham! haha"

dyk Dek sleeps well

dyk and Abi sleeps well -- her sleep onset insomnia is a manic phase issue

dyk and we're playing around with her sleep meds trying to figure out what she needs in this shifting period

dyk she's swinging wildly when she swings but then has a day like today -- VERY Even and she circled HAPPY on her daily mood chart for morning, afternoon and evening and I agreed with all 3 selections

dyk I need to apply for SSI for both Sean and Abigail

dyk bipolar I and bipolar II (depression) are both case by case basis for SSI

dyk they will take into consideration duration and intensity of treatment (i.e. how much medicine, therapy and lifestyle change and for how long (ever)) and there is a very good chance we can get their meds covered as well as possibly medical copays for specialist relating to the condition

dyk and that's all we need

dyk the forms are 44 pages long times TWO oy.

Dyk I ordered some Christmas presents today - finally!

Dyk for my nephews, I got one of those tents with the tunnel attached. I think they'll love it.

Dyk for my sister, I ordered a necklace from Lindsy, and she hand stamped "sisters" on the back of it. It's super cute!

Dyk and then I ordered one of those wheely bug things for Iz, as well as this walker toy that I've been wanting to get her for a while. I originally saw it Arthur store in Seattle for $90, and I found it on amazon today for $47. Score!

Dyk I also got my hair cut today. While I was gone, pete took Iz for a walk, and about two blocks from home she fell asleep. (it's so like her to stay awake for the whole walk and then pass out right before they get home lol).

Dyk so I pull into the driveway a few minutes later and see pete taking pictures of her sleeping in the stroller. It was ao cute.

Dyk then tonight we went to my bff's house because she was having some people over.

Dyk Monday is MILs birthday, so tomorrow we're going to ihop for brunch for her birthday.

Dyk why on earth her husband picked ihop is beyond me. Seattle has some amazing breakfast/brunch places. Ihop is not one of them, lol.

Dyk but maybe that's just me. Maybe they love ihop. I have no idea.
