oh, no! why does it have to be allergies NOW?

last night (8/31) he came to me saying “nose hurts”! and boy does he sound horrid! his throat is rough and scratchy! but he still manages to yell! it is hard enough to try to do “good” behavior when you feel pretty good, add to the usual a definite URI and stuffy nose and runny nose and we have liftoff! He is hyper, so off the wall he is trying to calm himself, it would be so easy to increase his meds, we want him to learn self control, self regulation and he is able to do that… moment by moment, minute to minute, hour by hour…

(9/1) tonight he definitely was not feeling well so he did lay down and fall asleep for a few hours! had a pretty ok day at school! he is, as I have said before probably, like the energizer bunny!

So, here it is Sunday, 9/4, and we still hear Korey with his litany of “things” that he is wanting, craving, asking for just out of routine. He was up all last night, he did take a few naps today, was unusual as he went swimming yesterday for a couple of hours and that usually tuckers him out but not this time! he is so tired now you can see his eyes are kind of closed and he is kind of unsteady on his feet, he just will not lay down.

going to read him a story, perhaps that will help… talk to you tomorrow… oh, Happy Labor Day!
