KINDERGARTEN!!

Well Little man started the big K this morning! He did so good waking up and didnt make a peep when it was time to go into classroom. He is in big school. Its bittersweet. My little baby boy isnt so little anymore. I am very proud of him though. I know this year will challenge him in different ways, as school should. I know he will get through it though. He is an amazing kid.

Preschool Graduate

LITTLE MAN DID IT ! I am so proud of him. It is a bittersweet time for me right now. My little boy is growing up before my eyes. Everyday he grows anoter half inch, and learns something new.

Things he learned this year (Just a short List

* Alphabet
* Numbers
* Nursery Rhymes
* Friends are Fun

Number 1 thing he taught me
* little boys can stand on their own two feet and dont always need mama! This is a hard lesson I am sure I will need to be re taught year after year. At least until he is 40!

Lil Man At War

My son is 5 years old an has suspected Add/Adhd. It pains me to see this little man at war with himself and his family. I know I did nothing wrong to cause him to have this pain and grief. This Anger and Frustration. I do often blame myself for his illness.
  Hes ultimately at war with himself and what can I do?  Sit back and supply him with meds. Take him to physiatrist appointments and research on the net. Is that enough?  Am I truly doing all I can to help him? Such a bright man I cant fail him. So many years ahead of him. So much on his to do list. For himself and for the world.

Overwhelmed By net

When your child is diagnosed with an illness whatever it may be. You do what doctors and people tell you, you are going to try everything you can do make your child feel better and "cure" him/her. My son is 5 and has suspected Attention Deficit Disorder (also known as ADD). When that was first thrown at me I was almost horrified I asked myself 3 questions.
1)How can MY baby be ill?
2)What did I do to cause him to have this?
3) How can I help him?

I got over intial shock pretty quickly as the nightly fights and arguements went on and on I started to accept that it is more likely than not Attention Deficit Disorder. I started looking on the internet for help. Boy of Boy that was wrong thing to do. Yes I found lots of information. Yes I found lots of ideas. Changing his diet, tightneing routine, differenct medications and there side effects, Horror stories of people who have had or been suspected of having ADD. I

One Day I found myself at grocery store struggling to pick a cearal for him. For a 5 year old boy! I then reliazed that while I wanted to do best for Zackary, I was hurting him with all these changes. Diet changes if your going to do them need to be gradual. I understand the links between sugar and hyperness, but I can't deprive this child of some morning treat he likes. At least its not a candy bar. I have since stayed away from reaserching ADD on net. I do go to a few forums online to just lend support to other moms that are in my situation. I realized that there has to be a balance in everything I do. I want to help Zack in anyway possible not hurt him

So Anyways that is just bit of my find with reasearching the net and my opionin is stick to listening to your doctors advice. You are not a bad mom for not spending hours upon hours reasearching add and different ways that may or may not help your child

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIL MAN!

I OFFICIALLY HAVE A BIG NOW IN THE HOUSE NOW!!!!  My Son just turned 5 years old. I cant believe it has been five years since this little man was put in my arms. Getting tearing just thinking about it. Sometimes I get very frustrated with him, but my love always remains. Everytime he tells me something he has learned in school or wonders about. I am amazed.

Pre-K Time!

Zack started pre-k this morning. He got up really good, but once we got to school tears came running. Okay the tears were not from Zackary, they were from me. I just couldnt believe how grown up he looked sitting at the little table in the matching chair. Coloring a page. He sat nice and quietly and even greeted the teacher. He was to nervous to say Hello so I think thats why he just smiled at her. My baby boy is a BIG boy now! I cant believe how fast the time has flown.
