It's been a long week..and I've been a bit busy, so let's see what's happened.
The kids went to visitation and had a nightmare Tuesday night. I passed the first and second test at the academy.
My class passed our uniform inspection, after the third time. I was a bit concerned that we wouldn't pass it, namely because different people inspected each time, and we finally got a consistent inspector.
We learned how to polish the boots to shiny perfection.
We toured the prison and got to watch the "apes" in solitary act like 5 year olds.
On Saturday, I went and helped my fellow club members at the Lubbock Easter Egg hunt, and today, we went to church.
Current count: 6 meltdowns (1 a day.)
20 time outs
3 cool down periods.
As for the cool down periods, I've learned to tell the cranky kid it's because he/she needs to cool down and relax, and it's not punishment.
The oldest still doesn't like to go to bed and cries, but I've been reading her bible stories before bed and it seems to help.
The youngest finally slept all the way through the night, just one night. Mommy fed her a mixture of milk and oatmeal to fill her belly.
We'll see if she sleep all the way through the night tonight.
Until next week, be well.
