Good Leo, Not So Good Leo & Oh So Cute Leo

This morning while checking my emails Kathy rang to see if I wanted to go to the park with her and take Leo since he isn't allowed at day care until after his appointment this morning although to be honest I do not see what a difference a few hours will make............

Anyway both me and Leo went to the park with Kathy and Sydney and I Leo had a wonderful time he climbed up to the top of the very big slide and then was to scared to come down so Kathy had to climb up and come down with him............which she said was funny as he kept hitting his face on the side of the slide on the way down as he would only go down while sitting on Kathy's lap............

After the park we came home and met his mum then off to the doctors appointment we go, the doctor we saw was really nice and he said that he felt that Leo was pretty much a normal 3yr old but he did refer us over to Kaleidoscope which is an organisation that links clinical services for children, who live in the Hunter and New England region. After the appointment we went to the day care and told them what was said and they said he can return tomorrow and we will just have to take it day by day.

At the doctors he was really well behavioured but when we left he wasn't at first he refused to leave the surgery and Jes was please please Leo come here and the doctor told her she should not be asking him in that way she has to speak firmly to him and tell what he has to do and not plead with him..............no shock there for me but maybe hearing it from someone other then me may make a difference.

While me and him were walking back to the car he was fine till we get to the car and then he just took off on me he ran across the road but did stop and check for cars, he then ran down the driveway of the police station I am trying to rush after him and I am calling for him to stop and of course he took no notice then his mum turned up and we are both looking and calling him but we couldn't see him and he didn't answer while I continued to look around the police parking lot his mum ran down the other driveway next door. We ended up having 3 police officers help look for him and found him hiding behind a large ute, one of the officers went to get him out and he tried to climb on top of the ute and he told him that he can't do that. Then he asked Leo why he ran away and hid from nanny and mummy and that did he (Leo) understand how scared mummy was because she couldn't find him...............Leo just said he is a big boy and can look after himself...........it was cute and if I wasn't so upset I would have laughed at the way he was talking..............

I started writing this 5 hours ago and I am only now just finishing it and getting a chance to post it...

Nanna is a softy on a hot day and little Leo sleeps a lot

Today is yet another bloody hot day, the type of day that makes me happy to be able to just stay home with the A/C going watching telly or blogging and not having to worry about anything............

yes that is the type of day today is, however, while I was out this morning only went out so I could put the bill for my dentures into Medicare so that the dental technichion could be paid.........

Ok point is that while I was out I get a phone call from Jessica wanting to know if I could pick Leo up from day care, he was being sent home again for being to aggressive..........grrrrrrrrrrr

I had to do it as I was the one with the car seat, so I go and get him and he is asleep when I get there and stayed asleep on the way home and stayed asleep until 2.20pm nearly 3 hours........So guess who will be in for a late night.

I was also told not to take him in the morning to day care until after his doctors appointment so bloody annoying like anything is going to change straight after we see the doctor it will take time for things to be sorted out..................

Now Jessica just called in to get a few things and went mad at me because I bought Leo a Happy Meal from Macca's but at least he wil eat it...............yes I know I am so soft but hey I'm nanna not mum...........although there are days I do feel more like mum then nanna...........lol

The problems with our Little Leo

At last I am getting around to writing about our little Leo who on Friday was sent home from Day Care because of his behaviour, he was very aggressive throwing things around hitting and spitting at people. Also on the Thursday he upturned a table because he didn't get his own way............

So I have made a doctors appointment for him next Thursday which is the first step in trying to find out if there is some reason for his behaviour..............such as ADD or ADHD or ODD or even as the director of the day care suggessted a mild form of Autism or even Bipolar.

Yesterday while he was here for a while he was fine playing with Sydney no problems then he wanted a toy that Sydney had and papa told him no Sydney had it and it was like a switch was flicked and he became very angry he pushed a table into Sydney and made her cry and when he was told to say sorry he became even more angry and started hitting and kicking and spitting and telling us he hated us and wanted to get a knife and kill us because we were bullies and mean, this went on for about 25 minutes then he was fine again and went looking for Sydney to say sorry but by then Kathy & Syd had left

His behaviour is really draining for Jessica she is often in tears not knowing what to do why he will not eat, or do as he is told. He is nearly 4 and not toilet trained he knows how to go to the toilet but he just won't if we sit him on the toilet to do a poo he will just sit and play then as soon as he gets off he will poo...........sometimes he will go to the toilet for a wee on his own but not very often.......

I hate seeing Jessica so distraught and crying and feeling like there is nothing I can do to help her.

A good night out

Last night I went out for the evening to my brothers place why you ask.............well for my sister in-laws 30th birthday party although her birthday isn't to the 18th but she had her party early because they are busy for the next few weekends.

I didn't think I would stay very long but ended up staying 4 hours and yes I had a few drinks but I was not drunk only a little tipsy. I did have a great time and enjoyed myself the food was nice and the cake was yummy and all in all it was a great night.

My sister Sandra and brother in-law Ed stayed there for the night and I just read on Facebook that Sandra and Leigh stayed up all night talking and having a grand old time...........

II went out there with mum and dad and came home with them, Tim didn't come as he had to work but that is fine he lately doesn't feel like he fits in when we go to family events..............my mum had a bit to drink she drank a bottle of wine and really seemed to enjoy herself.

We did leave before Leigh opened her presents so I have no idea what she got or it she liked what I gave herI guess all I can do is hope she did............lol

Hey Hey It's Saturday

Bring on the weekend I am happy that it is Saturday at last for no particular reason I just am, this afternoon my sister in-law Leigh is having her 30^th birthday party and I will go over for a bit but since it is at 4pm and I am not a big fan of going out late in the day or evening I do not think I will stay too long maybe a couple of hours I expect to be home by about 7pm at latest.............

I am also hoping to go to the cemetery with mum to visit my pops grave as it was a year yesterday that he passed away, I am just waiting to hear from mum this morning.................

I was up and out early this morning off to the doctors to ask if he could prescribe me something to help with the nausea feeling I have all the time as it is getting worse I find I will often lay in bed at night and just feel like I could throw up at any time........I am also quite tender in the area just under the breasts in the centre of my abdomen yes I have had this problem for a few years now but it is getting worse, they tell me it is reflux but nothing helps and tests have shown no problem so all I can do is try and find something to ease the feeling for a while........he has prescribed a a tablet called Motilum for me to take before meals and I have to go back and see him in a weeks time to tell him if they have helped........he also took me off aspirin and put me of plavix instead. This morning I saw Andrew who is one of the best doctors at the practice but it is often hard to get an appointment with him which is why I will often just see whoever is available.

Just Stuff

Well after a pretty warm day yesterday I am in track pants again as it is a lot cooler today, and of course I had a lot of washing to do so that had to go into the dryer...................Jessica has asked if her and Leo can stay tonight and I have said they can but she has to be aware that we have no bread, no potatoes, no coke and no chocolate.................lol I also let her know that she will have to pick Leo up from day care as Tim wants to take the car when he goes back to work........

I have just poped a chocolate cake into the oven and think I will try and answer some of my mail this afternoon.

Now just a random thought: It is said that if you line up all the cars in the world end to end, someone would be stupid enough to try and overtake them.

Yesterday

Yesterday was spent mostly in bed it started Monday night I was feeling all stuffed up in the head and yesterday morning when I got up I felt awful so after a couple of hours I went back to bed and didn't get up again till around 1pm. However I still felt awful and ended going to bed again at something like 7.15pm and would like to say I had a great nights sleep but that's not the case I had one of the worst nights sleep I have ever had, why well mostly because I was so stuff up in the head I had trouble breathing.

Today is a better day I am feeling better although not great I still have a headache and a blocked nose, although I managed to go to the nursing home with mum to see nan and as usual we took Temika with us.

I then came home and picked up my car and went to get a couple of Christmas presents for my sisters to give out...........

Now being that it is Wednesday we will have Leo here for the night so I hope he doesn't have a nap at day care and that Tim will be home early to help with him as I really do not feel like dealing with him tonight.......
