Kadyn had a rough spot this morning. She was freaking out in the pool even with 2 floats on her. She got out and took a break for awhile. She got back in and seemed to be doing better, still unsteady, but no freak outs. She had 2 meltdowns in the short time we were down there over little things. Luckily we quickly contained ourselves and it wasn't an hour long thing. Kadyn hasn't been lining up as much as she used to. Every now and the she will when she's upset or bored. Example; she was upset that she had to wait her turn for her movie so she went in her room and lined up her kitchen food. We have started something new. Talking to herself about the craziest things. First it was just one night. Now it's happening 3-4 times a day. She sounds like she's having a conversation with someone, but if you ask who's she talking too. She says myself. I found her alone earlier having a conversation with herself in a room by herself. I feel like she's starting to become more social everyday which makes me so happy :) I hope you guys have a good rest of the week and thank you for being apart of Kadyns World!
On Monday me and My Mom took Kadyn out to get her fingernails and toenails done for the first time at a salon. Other than a stiff body and being slightly uncomfortable she had a good time and loves her pink sparkly nails. Then she went for a haircut. She was super tired so she sat still and almost fell asleep. Then we went out for sandwiches and ice cream. She ate some yummy gluten free chicken nuggets and strawberries, and when she was done she enjoyed a chocolate ice cream cone. On Tuesday we had to get some cleaning done and then we hung out at the pool. We have a big weekend ahead so we aren't doing anything this as we know of. I hope you guys have a wonderful week and Thank You for being apart of Kadyns World! Yesterday we look a trip to Kadyns favorite place. The Library. Kadyn has LOVED books since before she could talk. She knew all of her letters and their sounds at age 2. Now at 4 1/2 she is reading and writing. Recently Kadyn got to go to the mall and find a new train for being a big girl and she really wanted to find a book about the train, because she had never seen a train like that. So she brought her train along and asked the librarian to help her. Today we stayed home and did some much needed laundry. Kadyn is making so many strides socially, and I'm excited that she is finally coming out of her shell a little bit. Other than not using words and being whiny constantly she has been really well behaved lately. No big meltdowns. Tomorrow we have a busy day at church so Kadyn took a bath and went to bed on time for the first time in awhile. I hope you guys have a great rest of the weekend and Thank You for being apart of Kadyns World! On Friday we went out to lunch and then to our local indoor inflatables center. Kadyn ran around and played the arcade games while Brynn went down the giant slides. She was overstimulated after all the fun and didn't fall asleep until super late. On Saturday Morning we went to The Home Depot Kids Workshop and built a riding lawn mower. Normally Kadyn would have worn headphones and not been able to finish her project, because she was too caught up in how noisy it was. This time she did so well and surprised us all. She held her ears when needed and finished her whole lawn mower. And she wasn't as concerned about the paint on her hands Yay!!! The shaving cream is working :) Later that day we had a birthday party for our neighbor to go to. She did good there, but had a meltdown, because we wouldn't let her take her shoes off. Then that night we went swimming and Kadyn swam for about 20 minutes and then passed out on Dad. One of Kadyns favorite foods used to be fruit snacks, but now she gags on them, because of how they touch her teeth. She has a few texture issues, and some Oral Hypersensitivities and Hyposensitivities that we are working on. Yesterday (Sunday) we just hung out at home and then went out for Dinner. Today we slept in until after Noon. We went to a movie (Maleficent) and Kadyn did good with the noise (Yay! Music Therapy is helping), but wouldn't stay in her chair. And she gagged over the popcorn and almost vomited. After the movie we went grocery shopping and then came home and got ready for bed. We tried some big kid mouthwash, but Kadyn didn't understand the concept of not swallowing it. I hope you guys have a great week and Thank You for being apart of Kadyn's World! Shaving Cream Music Therapy Sleeping at the Pool On Wednesday we took a trip to our local amusement Park. Kadyn did ok. She got to ride on the train around the park. That was so exciting. She rode two other things after that, but her favorite part was sitting in the sleigh on the carousel. She really enjoyed that. Then she tripped. Kadyn has a very low tolerance of pain and trauma. Let's just say that one skinned knee has lasted for 2 days. She didn't ride anything else after that. Yesterday we stayed at home and finished all the laundry and had a chill down day. Today we have another fun thing planned that Kadyn has always loved, but hated at the same time. Too many kids, too much noise and I'm hoping that she will enjoy herself. We are gonna go get some lunch and then go to the bounce house. I hope you guys have a wonderful Friday and Thank You for being apart of Kadyns World! Lately we have been hanging at home only really going to the pool. Kadyn made great improvements. One of them I never thought would occur. Swimming. With just her floaty. This is the kid who would go full meltdown mode because of the bathtub. Our summer has been so much more fun, because she is actually having fun. Tomorrow we have somewhere very fun to go. The only problem is overstimulation. I'm hoping that she will be able to handle it and enjoy herself. Oh and one more thing. We have a new member of the family :) A six week old Yorkie. At first he kinda scared her, but he has grown on her. Another exciting thing is they are both finally gaining weight. At almost 4 1/2 Kadyn weighs about 31 pounds. Pediasure seems to be working. She eats pretty good other than a few textures she cant handle such as popcorn, beef, chicken (that's not in nugget form), corn, and nuts. But really she loves food. We hope you guys have a wonderful day and thank you for being apart of Kadyns World! |
