Life lately

Well life has been busy lately to say the least! Noah has really been showing his naughty side for the past month or two. He just started going to a behavior specialist, so far I'm not sure that it's totally working although we have only had one appointment. He's just so strong willed, and is totally worried about doing what he wants when he wants. He doesn't like the word "no" and when he isn't concerned with what you want him to do at the time, he will totally ignore you! When he gets mad or doesn't like what you asked him to do he'll scream at you, throw a real fit, worse than he ever did as a younger child. He has a real issue at times controlling his anger, and if he's agitated will just lash out at whoever is in his way, me, Grammy, Poppy friends at school. Something has to give soon. It is very hard to handle at times, especially because he can be so sweet and such a good listener at times. It really breaks my heart to have to take him to a behavior specialist for help but honestly he is almost out of control. Sometimes I just wonder if his Dad was still alive and in his life if he'd be different, but then again it might not make a difference.

I have been going to Church where Noah attended DAWGS club on Wednesdays. I really like it there it's a Methodist Church which I was baptized Catholic but only really attended Catholic Church growing up. I feel like I found my home. I'm so happy, I try to bring Noah with me as well if he doesn't want to go I don't make him because I don't want him to not like Church. Everyone is so nice there, I couldn't ask for anything better! DAWGS (Dynamic And Wiggly God Seekers) club is over as of last Wednesday until about September, Noah loved it but now I will have more time to do fun stuff.



I just paid off my car finally just today! I am forever thankful for that! It took 6 long years but finally I can say it's over and breathe!

My nephew Parker is doing great! He was just here last weekend for the night! Even though Noah sometimes has some jealousy issues he loves Parker so much!



The first day we went to the behavior specialist we went afterwards to meet up with Noah's buddy Brody and his Nanny from DAWGS!  They had a great time and spent about 3 hours at Chuck E Cheese!  We are so going to do that again!  We all had a blast!

Dispite Noah's behavior lately and him just about constantly stressing me out, I love him more than anything in this entire world and wouldn't trade him for anything!  I'm hoping that something starts to click soon with this specialist that it helps otherwise we are not going to keep going and will be trying another route because I am really at a loss!  time out he could care less about, and taking things away same thing.  but we will see how it goes.

Monster Truck Show = Epic Fail for Mommy!

On March 8th, I thought I had the most awesome surprise for Noah....and I did....except for one thing....SENSITIVE EARS!! I had bought tickets to the Monster Truck show that was taking place at the farm show complex, Noah LOVES Monster Trucks-all the ones he has as toys is a good indicator! Well I know that sometimes he is always covering his ears an>d saying some things are too loud, but I never thought that the big ear muff things wouldn't be good enough for Noah....not just those but also wax ear plugs underneath! He still cried and kicked his feet and had big crocodile tears coming down his face and after the 2nd time he did that we got up and left. Yep a total of about 15 minutes at the show! But you know what, he loved seeing the trucks just couldn't stand the noise.
So it broke my heart that he couldn't stay and enjoy the whole show, because he was excited when he knew why we were there! But it was ok that we only spent 15 minutes in there he definatly has good ears! Lesson learned mom!
