Show Me

Weekend:

• Went to Target & Kroger. Came home with groceries and ANOTHER new Paw Patrol toy. 
• Rested. Recharged. 
• Made the poor decision to go to the playground without having a snack. 
• Questioned my parenting skills as Cody skipped people in line, avoided me, and refused to listen to my directions. 
• Hauled hangry child away from the playground and into the apartment. 
• Strapped screaming child into booster seat for evening meal. 
• Wondered why no one had called the police due to hysterical screaming. 
• Heart broke as Cody screamed "I want to go to Cairo!"
• Fed angry child despite him spitting out the first two bites. 
• Remained calm. 
• Child calmed down and finished the meal peacefully. 
• Lazy Sunday morning post time-change. 
• 2 protocol puree meals before museum visit. 1 after. 
• First visit to Fernbank. Liked dinosaurs, disliked IMAX, loved gift shop. 
• Goodbye weekend.

Monday:

• Fed breakfast. 
• Talked to nutritionist about the weekend and plans to switch Cody from Kroger brand to national brands. 
• Therapists fed Cody snack and lunch to successfully drop "mouth checks." No longer have to say "show me" to check that Cody swallowed his food. Saves massive amounts of time. LOVE IT!
• Took Cody to the playground between snack and lunch sessions. 
• Two new families at the Center. One with 4 adults accompanying her made for a crowded family lounge. Other family has an older child, so not in family lounge. 
• I celebrated National Nap Day, while Cody rolled around on the floor during "naptime." 
• Fed dinner session and lived the dream of not needing to check to be sure Cody swallowed after every bite. 
• Finished 10 minutes early at every session. 
• Answered "jealous" parents' questions about why we were finished early, what is Cody's gram cap, etc etc. 
• Rain outside made Cody unhappy. 
• Started reading an actual book while Cody is glued to tablet as usual. 
• Dinner is up next. 

Hope that covers it, because that's all the energy I can give for today :) 

And here's a picture of my other cutie- Coley Cole.
