Today's progress

Today,I've done heaps of washing & lots of cleaning in the kitchen. Also made a batch of pork nuggets (discovered what i thought i grabbed out freezer wasn't chicken mince but in fact pork after it thawed lol) hope the kids like them....
Guess dinnertime will be the testing time.

Charlie's update: He now refuses to wee in nappies lol so I have to get the timing of how long to keep on potty for.We are going to get 2 more potties.I want different colours for each of the kids.also going to make "designated potty areas" for thier potties in the bedrooms and lounge and potty mats to catch those misses.He also is going through seperation anxiety stage,He doesnt like to be by himself not even for 1 second.

Cody update: tried to get peadtrician appointment sooner then june 6th but receptionist said its either keep that time or wait another 3 months to see someone.nothing was available sooner. :-(
Also hoping to hear back on whether or not he can see a nuerologist for his sleep patterns.And if The Currajong school will have him for prep next year,we are still homeschooling.In speech therapy last night he was very defiant and refused to do anything.We are at a loss on where the defiance has come from as he doesit at home too and even with rusden.

Tyson update: Tyson will be seeing a MCHN about doing a refferal for central intake for specialist childrens services on the 26th may.his anger,speech,behaviour and the sensory issues are going to be talked about then.

Schools and other stuff

So, we are looking at schools for Cody next year. And we've decided Riverside Christian College is going to be one of the better suited options.I am currently filling in the application forms and gathering up the information they need, i need to grab a report on his developmental delay, something from his EI and something from his speech therapist.Then i can send it all off.
Cody will be doing prep next year if he gets accepeted. So yeah it looks like we will be homeschooling.

i have started a No spend challenge for the month of march. What?? you say. Basically I will only buy stuff like food (we can't starve), i have joined Wardrobe Refashioned so my sewing blog will be updated regulalry over the next 4 months with my creations.
