Sarah's Recent Award in School

Not every day; however, but for the past two days, Sarah has really excelled and I've been exceptionally pleased to teach her. She's been receptive to learning and to watching the fun learning shows. She's been kept clean and we've had fun and had the proper home and school diet. I purchased her vitamins (that would still be necessary regardless of going outside or not. I just have to crush them up and put them in her allergy meds and other stuff in the morning when we get ready for school.) It's just like when you go out in the sun for any prolonged period of time, you have to purchase face lotion, sunblock and take her meds, communication, change of clothes, towel, wipes and incontinent supplies like her wipes, moisture barrier, changing pads, and, of course (thankfully we just ordered the next size up) pull-up pants. We are planning to start going out a bit more when we have our transportation issues fixed because we always got things done when we could cruise about town and see people and do things, stop in places, stroll about and meet different people. We were always more presentable, more social and able to work very well together. Often, we're tired just like anyone else and we have obligations at home that keep us here, but we do like to get out on nice days too and also have a way to call for help or to have a ride home if needed.

Sarah lost another baby tooth on top and has been doing very well. She brushes her teeth morning and evening before bed and even helps me to brush her teeth when she can and is in the mood. Since she hasn't gotten the concept of the difference of spitting (between rinsing and spitting food and drink - I dare not broaden my problems as of yet!) I continue to put a tiny pea size of very good anti-cavity, dentist recommended toothpaste on her brush (since swallowing that amount will only give her the same amount of flouride/flourine found in water treatment, and I also get the baby/toddler toothpaste that requires no rinsing and has a much better flavor. It's a shame that we can't find our usual Disney Princesses. It was not only a psychological matter, but also a matter of taste. Even though it's bubble gum, Sarah doesn't chew gum for reasons of - well, it's pretty obvious. I know she'd swallow it, not realizing what it's for, even if she were told and would have a cesium full of chewing gum to be removed later. Not a nice thought. We have a dental appointment coming up and let's hope for the best all.

Welcome Back to School

Got back to school during cold season and a lot of work after the holidays. Stopped in to give a New Year's greeting.
