well it's Sunday already and since setting up my blog, i thought it would be easy sitting down writing....well I've finally managed it after i think is 3 days!!...my lovely daughter has unstuck herself from the computer and gone to the park!!!!....so I've managed to grab a tea and sit down.

Drew, my lovely son with ADHD has been in a lovely mood for three days, don't get me wrong, he is very cute, kind, caring and sometimes mellow, but oh god, last night his was swinging from the chandeliers!!!!...

I'm trying not to give him his medication whilst i am at home and trying good old fashioned parenting!!!..although he's driving me mad, you have to repeat yourself at least 5 times before he hears you.

Take this morning for example....

Last night lib's came home from the park and had lost her mobile phone, so with a few tears and tantrums we decided that first thing this morning we would head down to the park and retrace our steps!!!..well!!!!!

Drew finally got up at 8 and wanted to go down the stairs, i must have told him at least 3 times to get dressed, then 3 times to clean his teeth and have a wash, then 4 times to drink his milk!!!......one hour later we were walking around the park with the dog and lib's!!!!......

Never found the phone.....on the way Drew ran after the dog and i told him what must be at least four times not to get the dog excited, well did he listen NO!!!!.....and the dog jumped up and nipped him...
Don't get me wrong, i don't believe in nipping dogs, but he's only 7 months old and he thinks Drew was playing...Drew did take note then but half second later he was doing again!!!!

Drew is now watching telly...my electronic baby sitter but it keeps him calm for a while!!!!....i remember watching TIZWAZ all Saturday morning when i was a kid...so whats the harm....although i did teach Andrew the dying fly!!!!!

his reading is also coming along...since the school holidays and because we are going out with the dog more his looking and picking up words, which can only be a good thing...
by for now
