Wednesday Night

Gary had a good day today. He went to Club 4 Kids in the morning while Jennifer went to the chiropractor. I came home early today and was home when Miss Nikki (his OT) came to work with Gary. They had a really good session. We also found out that Miss Nikki has a 4:00 PM opening so that she can continue working with Gary when he starts school in one week.

Tomorrow, Gary's Grandpa Rhino is coming over to play while Jennifer goes to the dentist to get a crown.

Another tooth

Gary lost another of his baby teeth today. Jennifer said he was really excited. When she told him the Molenator was coming he said "no silly, the tooth fairy is coming".

Gary is now asleep and soon the tooth fairy will leave him some money for his tooth. I just wish there was a hair fairy. I'd be rich.

Good night all.

end of a good week for Gary

Gary has done really well this week. He had a great session with Dr. Pat. There were People there from the State and School district to observe our session. I am hoping this means that Dr. Pat will get more funding for his business. Gary had a day camp at a place called little monkey business. He was so excited. He had fun being snack helper and set up tables with food and drinks was so cute. But we didn't have snack. He had a great time playing with the music and dancing, singing. I stayed with him the whole time. Hope they have another camp or classes availble. Tennis Camp and lesson have ended for the summer. Gary really enjoyed these activites as well. Horse is still going we have at least 1 maybe 2 more sessions then I am not sure what will happen. We are hoping to come up with a Saturday time because Gary has gotten so much from this thearapy. Dr. Pat is down to two more sessions and again I am uncertin what will happen. I have been able to find a 4pm block with Miss Nicki for now. It seems strange to have all of Garys therapies coming to an end. The school will have some therapy but not sure how much or how often. It is exciting that Gary will be in the 1st grade in a couple of weeks and scary for me to wonder how much help he will get and if it will be enough? But he has a fiesty mom who will make certian that he gets what he needs. Gary also had fun with my dad this week. We also went to The Wildlife Experience and had a great time. I am thinking of looking for work there and still trying to find work in the school system.
The insurance companies are still giving us the run around and trying to deny an coverage for Gary's therapies. Very frustrating and angry. I have lost all patientenc with the health care system. I pray daily for some compasion and mercy to be show by the companies and government. May be when Hell freezes over I 'll see the mercy I seek.

Gary is growing up so much and really doing well. He is so close to being potty trained. He is sharing with others and wanting to have other kids to play with. He understands whit and playful teasing. He is a very happy boy and has had a great oppertunity to spend extra time with daddy. I think it has been good for both of them.

I am enjoyng my painting of space themes. I am still shacking and tired. Some days I feel better than others. Still working on different therapies. I got a wounderful family that needs me as much as I need them. Hope to get back to my normal self soon.

Love to all
especialy you Grandma. Have a great weekend. and sorry I have not written everyday.

Tuesday Night

It is Tuesday night and everyone had a good day. Gary did a great job at Dr. Rydell's.

He is currently playing Batman and Jennifer is watching Star Trek. I'm going upstairs to joing them in a little bit.

Sunday Night

Gary fell asleep early tonight. We got off to a slow start as it was Jennifer's turn to sleep in. Once we were all moving we went to a birthday party for a school friend of Gary's at Belleview Park. The party visited the petting zoo and played in a stream. He also ate some brownie and got to hit a pinata. Finally he played at the park's playground.

After the party we went home and Gary played on his DS for a bit. He then went outside and played with some of the kids in the neighborhood using water balloons and squirt guns.

We had penne pasta and sausage for supper. Then Gary played DS a little bit longer and then he went upstairs, brushed his teeth and then went to slepp.

Saturday

It's Saturday and we are all relaxing right now. Earlier Gary and I went to lunch at Chick-fil-a. After lunch we went to target were Gary got some underpants, some bubble batch, and a new DS game.

Snack Time

It is Friday night and Gary is eating his bedtime snack and watching Jack's Big Music Show. We just came inside a little bit ago. We were outside watching some of the bigger kids (four eighth graders and a fifth grader) play ball. Gary had a blast. He had a whistle and a flashlight and was running around playing chase.

Earlier he was riding his scooter and pretending to crash in the grass. It was pretty funny.

He had Speech Therapy (with hippo) today, He also played on his DS and his computer.

But hopefully the couple of hours we were outside will have worn him out. And the excercise was good for him.

On the potty training front he did poop in the toilet twice yesterday. Hi is not potty trained yet but getting closer. Hopefully in a couple of weeks, just in time for school.

DS Lite Night

Gary and Jennifer just went to bed. Gary a happy, little boy. Since he is doing so well potty training (and we need a way to get him to sit and stay on the potty) we got him a DS tonight. It is blue and he was so excited at Target picking it out and then picking out two games. He carried it through the store and all the way home in the van. He then played for a while.

Hopefully the DS will get us the rest of the way through potty training.

The rest of Gary's day was pretty good also. He went to tennis camp this morning and then Alyssa came over and watched him while Jennifer ran some errands. Gary and Alyssa played Star Wars.

This afternoon, Miss Nikki, hi OT came over and worked with Gary. They had a good session. He strung beads and made Jennifer an anklet.

Only two days until the weekend, not that I am counting.

Monday

It was a typical Monday for me. I worked from 6:30 to 5:00.

Gary had a pretty good day. Tennis camp and a picnic with his lunch bunch friends.

Tomorrow he has camp in the morning, Dr. Rydell in the early afternoon, and then a visit from Grandpa Rhino.

Saturday Night

It's Saturday night and Gary is tired and grumpy. But he did have a good day. He went to his Grandpa Rhino's house for lunch. After lunch he got to pick some carrots, beets, onions, and peas from his grandpa's garden.

When we got home we went next door to Marko's birthday party. Gary had fun playing with all of the balloons.

Tomorrow should be a quiet day, we currently do not have any plans.

Thursday Night

It's Thursday night and we are all doing fine. Gary had a good day, he played at Club for Kids, went to Target, and then came home to play. He is watching Blue's Clues now with his firend Briana.

We had the deck power washed and sealed. The post was also fixed.

Tomorrow Gary has hippo (and speech) therapy. He also has tennis.

Monday at the dentist

Today was dentist day for two thirds of the human population at the Kocal Colorado Cat Home. Jennifer went thus morning for the rest of her root canal. Grandpa Rhino came over and watched Gary.

In the afternoon we took Gary to the dentist where he had his teeth cleaned and checked (no cavities). He then had some sealant placed on his teeth. He has a couple of loose teeth (the dentist thinks that have about 3 months before that fall out) and some new molars are coming in.

Jennifer is napping. Sleeping off the Novocaine while Gary and I are watching Wow Wow Wubbsy.

The deck guy is coming this afternoon so I can sign the proposal and give him a deposit. The work on the deck (power wash, sand, and seal) will start on Wednesday.

Gary at the Resevoir

Independence Day

It has been a fairly quiet Saturday. One of Jennifer's friends is passing through Denver and decided to call at 5:30 this morning to see if she could meet them for breakfast (it was too early). I was just glad it was not work and went back to bed.

I got up with Gary and fed him breakfast and watched some Disney channel with him. He eventually snuck upstairs on me and played some Star Wars.

We played outside for a bit in the afternoon and then went to Mimi's Cafe for an early dinner. It started to rain while we were there and the rain continue for a couple of hours. It looks like it may have finally stopped.

Jennifer is watching Voyager and Gary is using the force. Hopefully we will get some fireworks action in the neighborhood in a little bit after it gets a bit darker.

Quiet Friday, So Far

I'm home from work early (just a half day). Gary and Jennifer are at hippo (horse) therapy with the speech therapist. After hippo Gary is going to Club for Kids as Jennifer has a doctor's appointment.

Grandpa Rhino's Birthday

Today we went to the Aurora reservoir and had a barbecue to celebrate Gary's Grandpa Rhino's 70th birthday. We had hamburger and hot dogs to eat. Gary also got to wade in the reservoir(they have a beach for swimming) and he also played at the playground.

After we got home Gary played with his friends Justin and Mira. They had to play inside since it was raining.

Tomorrow Gary has hippo in the morning.
