The Jersey Girl: December 2010
http://jerseygirlkarin.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
On parenting a child with Sensory Processing Disorder, among other things. Thursday, December 30, 2010. Going to the dentist. I took Frank to the dentist Tuesday morning. This is only the third time he's gone, and it went no better than the forst two times. Actually, it was somewhat worse this time, because he's getting to be too strong for me to hold down! Better her than me- I'm really quite glad I did not go into pediatric dentistry! Oh, and with food? Sunday, December 26, 2010. The catch is, he still...

The Jersey Girl: Paperwork
http://jerseygirlkarin.blogspot.com/2010/11/paperwork.html
On parenting a child with Sensory Processing Disorder, among other things. Friday, November 12, 2010. I got the paperwork from the Child Development Center. I have to get his teachers at school to fill out a form, his pediatrician has to fill out a form, and his OT needs to fill out a form. And I have about five pages to fill out. In other news, he's decided he likes the Dodgers. Why the Dodgers, you ask? Sometimes, life really is a circle. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). New Jersey, United States.

The Jersey Girl: August 2010
http://jerseygirlkarin.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
On parenting a child with Sensory Processing Disorder, among other things. Monday, August 2, 2010. He ate a bite of mac and cheese, chewed, and swallowed it, all without crying or fussing. I feel like I won the NY Marathon. Sunday, August 1, 2010. Good News and Bad News. Good news: He's taking mac and cheese more easily. He even chewed it instead of swallowed it whole tonight. Good news: He's been (pee) accident-free at home for.hm, five days now? Good news: He hasn't soiled any underwear since Thursday.

The Jersey Girl: Getting there
http://jerseygirlkarin.blogspot.com/2010/09/getting-there.html
On parenting a child with Sensory Processing Disorder, among other things. Thursday, September 16, 2010. So, Frank has settled in fairly well to Pre-K. His first day of not crying when I dropped him off was Monday, his fourth day of pre-K. I fully expected to almost start at square one after having the weekend off, so this was quite a pleasant surprise. Maybe switching to a totally new school for kindergarten next year won't be as much of a trauma as I fear it will be? I bribe him with extra juice boxes&...

The Jersey Girl: May 2010
http://jerseygirlkarin.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
On parenting a child with Sensory Processing Disorder, among other things. Monday, May 31, 2010. We have decided we are going to Disney World next year. At first, we thought going in April during my break would be a good plan- it'd be cooler, and less crowded. Not so much- my break occurs either the week before or the week after Easter each year, and according to the book and the websites, that is one of the most heinously crowded times of the year to go! Then there's the crowds.and the colors.an...This ...

The Jersey Girl: June 2010
http://jerseygirlkarin.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
On parenting a child with Sensory Processing Disorder, among other things. Friday, June 25, 2010. HERE THERE BE SPOILERS. IF YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS MOVIE, STOP READING NOW. It's very interesting- most people who look at Frank would never realize he's a special needs child, and, indeed, as compared to a lot of kids with SPD, he's really quite well off. The movie has made me think- how many kids do we see every day while out and about look "normal", but really have special needs? Tuesday, June 22, 2010.

The Jersey Girl: Appointments
http://jerseygirlkarin.blogspot.com/2010/11/appointments.html
On parenting a child with Sensory Processing Disorder, among other things. Wednesday, November 10, 2010. They'll end up knowing him and his history better than I, who carried him inside my body for nine months, do! Before they decide what kind of therapy he needs, to rule out any physical issues. It's an approach that makes sense, I guess, but.the next available appointment isn't until MARCH 31ST! That's five months away! Great Just what I wanted to be doing- schlepping around to more doctors. I am marri...

The Jersey Girl: April 2010
http://jerseygirlkarin.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
On parenting a child with Sensory Processing Disorder, among other things. Wednesday, April 28, 2010. Should we start him when he's five (his birthday is in September) or when he's six? What food will he be eating by then? Will he fit in, or will his classmates make fun of him for his quirks? I should remind you that the boy in question is three, and will be four in September.which reminds me of another worry: what will happen if he doesn't potty train by then? Will he be able to still go into pre-K?

The Jersey Girl: Blankets
http://jerseygirlkarin.blogspot.com/2010/11/blankets.html
On parenting a child with Sensory Processing Disorder, among other things. Thursday, November 11, 2010. But now he's wearing 5T shirts, and 4T pants. I'm having a hard time finding footsie pjs that fit him AND that feel good and don't have any "lines" (seams) to bother him. So, we've been trying to get him to use a blanket at night. Hmmm, interesting. Have you ever tried going back into his bedroom once hes sound asleep and gently laying a blanket on him? November 12, 2010 at 11:26 AM. The Big Life Carto...
