No medicaid waiver for us today

OK. So, don't ask me why. But no medicaid waiver for us today. According to the coordinator, we will have to wait until Zach is 3. No where am I able to find such a rule documented. Whatever. I just have to keep on top of it I suppose.

Zach is getting into a lot of trouble lately - going into my drawers, playing in the toilet (ewwww....gross), got into the toothpaste and the dental floss. The house is a complete mess. And now for the funny part - I love it! He is acting like a typical 2 year old toddler this way. This keeps my hopes up.

He said apple the other day when looking at a picture that the sitter drew of an apple when trying to show Sophie how to say apple in Russian. (Our new sitter is fluent in Russian - how cool is that?)

Zach is hopping around the house lately a lot. This is also really cool - he regularly gets both feet off the floor. Just what he should be doing. Also making Momma very happy.

I have been a little down lately. Maybe I outpaced myself and just need a little recovery. Maybe it's the fact that I am on Zach's diet now for Lent. Maybe it's the fact that the EEG results showed something and I cannot get it out of my mind.

I love my kids so much. This is just not what I anticipated for parenthood. I am trying to enjoy them amongst all the chaos, but sometimes I find that I am more worried about stuff then about if they are having fun. I really would like to take Sophia ice skating today, but Steve is at work, and I think it would be a bit daunting to have to carry Zach and try and help Sophie ice skate. Why is Steve at work? Becuase when your concentration is as wrecked as ours has been lately, you gotta make it up somehow. We need our jobs to pay for the therapists too much to get into any trouble at work. Yesterday I went in, today Steve went in. Sophie just asked when he will be home.

Let's chalk it up to a long, cold, grey winter and hope that spring and the sunshine will take care of business soon enough.
