I was super nervous about how Zacharey would do for the ride as he has been eating about every hour. I was fully prepared to have to stop several times and nurse him. Much to my surprise he slept the whole way! Not a peep out of him.
Nathaniel however, got car sick. He filled a large Timmy's cup to the brim (it was the only container I could hand him in a hurry... no judgement needed haha). Super gross. I don't handle vomit well, especially older kid vomit. I thought Adam was going to die laughing at me. Coughing and gagging the whole time. Thankfully he didn't make a mess of himself, the van or his car seat. I must remember to keep an extra outfit for him in the back compartment of the van. You would think I would learn.
It was nice meeting Adam's Grandfather. You would never know he was 80. He looks fantastic and is more mobile than I was expecting. He was thrilled to meet the boys and told me that I was the best thing to happen to Adam. Awwe, I did a good job domesticating! We left the celebration early due to some serious family drama. It is sad that a bunch of adults can't handle themselves appropriately. We stopped in to see Adam's dad before we made the trip back. The boys had a lot of fun, and that is all that matters.
The ride home was quiet, and although VERY late for the boys they handled the ride. Nathaniel and Zacharey slept most of the way back and Alex watched Transformers on the van's DVD player. (Although I didn't care one way or another when we first got our van, I am SO glad it has a DVD player in it. It makes road trips that much easier.)
Alex had an appointment at HDH to see his psyc today. I really wish that she would be more of a help to us. She often dismisses my concerns and pushes medication.
Yes Alex is medicated, no they don't work.
Instead of helping me address the issues we have been having, she dismissed them AGAIN and wanted to up his dosage. She suggested that I am just tired and not handling him as well as I normally would. Yes, I am exhausted but these behaviours and problems have been going on for months now. I have brought up these issues several times. I am asking for help and instead I am having new prescriptions thrown at me and told to come back in one months time.
In the mean time, I will fill the new rx, up his protein intake (her suggestion to him stealing food) and sit on weight lists for behaviour modification programs (my request).
