The Williamson's

We found a school that has a pre-K program. It is the same circulum as public school K program. They gave Nick a backpack. He promptly packed it and said “Mama, I packed my backpack with clothes, books, and a belt for Kindergarten.” Because his birthday is after the cut off (Sept 1st), he won’t be going to K until Fall of 2010. He also thinks he is riding a bus to school next week when he starts his new school (daycare). This school offers private pre-K and K so he doesn’t have to ride the bus until at least 1st grade.

Grandma came to take care of Nick for a week. They both had a blast playing and learning. We think he wore out Grandma though. We even took her to see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at Nick’s Taekwondo school.

We took Nick in for a sleep study because he had been waking up 3 to 4 times a night. He also snores really loud. The pedi thinks he isn’t getting enough sleep which is causing him to misbehave a little at school (daycare).

The prelim report shows Nick is very restless at night, he has some attachment issues, and he stopped breathing for more than 15 seconds at a time. The tech said the dr will probably recommend his tonsils to be removed as it is causing him to not get enough air.

Nick had his appointment at Our Children’s House of Baylor for occupational therapy. He has some sensory issues and they are evaluating him to determine what kind of therapy he will need. All in all it went well. The therapist said he is more advanced than most kids his age. He had trouble processing information but once it gets processed he doesn’t forget it. They recommended some treatments to help him deal with things. We will see how it all pans out once insurance approves it all.

We also found out he might have a dairy intolerance. This means he has a hard time processing dairy products. We have a few choices. We can completely remove dairy which means no ice cream or we can give him enzyme pills to help him process it. Still determining what we want to do with it all.
