Kaylee is watching a "Telly Tubbies" DVD at the moment ..... if you aren't familiar with that particular form of slow torture, then I'll leave you in your state of bliss.
Kaylia has become quite adept at the use of DVD players ... she finds what she wants, turns the machines on and then gets the whole shebang working .... it makes our life easy!
We're still waiting to see the hoped for Ritalin effects. Her appetite is less than before but we hope for a big appetite change so that she will become less 'chubby'.
This year has been quite a momentus period for us .... the challenge of finding a successful medication regime for Kaylia has absorbed much of our attention. Fortunately, I think we have succeeded (touch wood) .... although this is something that can change. We have to be constantly observing, comparing, discussing ... changes occur slowly much of the time and we can miss them if we're not consciously assessing on a daily basis.
In hindsight it is clear that Kaylia's success in mainstream school would not have been possible without the medication.
The 'end of year' pressure is ramping up .... we're looking forward to the Christmas break. It will be a German Christmas in our house this year .... we will have 3 Aussies and 4 Germans in the house .... so we look forward to experiencing a different style of celebration.

As you've said before, this new form of diary is invaluable. It's pushing you into writing things down and you'll have a permanent record to look back on. Although I hope you're keeping backups! You can't rely on anything on-line being permanent.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying reading it, too. Watch that spelling! Pete
