Holly - stay strong! Things will get better! I still think you are an amazing mom....I really hope that all this is has to do w/ the day care....3 more days and counting, right??


Deb - you home yet??

Marilyn - I've enjoyed "talking" to you tonight...keep me informed again as to when you'll be at WDW and we'll figure out a time to meet. Have a good night!

Holly - I was a pre-school teacher for 14 years but am not an expert, but I think I would make the dr. do some tests or recommend someone that could. It seems to me that you have taken things away for awhile now with no results. Maybe him being 5 he doesn't even know why he reacts this way. There has to be a reason besides that he feels like it. When My DD was young she had all types of problems in school only to find out she had a processing problem. Boy did I feel awful knowing that I had taken all her privileges away when she couldn't help it. Once discovered the problem was solved in a few weeks. Please don't think I am trying to tell you what to do - just trying to help with another view. I know all kids are different and a parent knows their child better than any one else. I hate to see anyone sad.

I don't have sound here at work, so will check this out at home...I'm just sitting here w/ a BIG smile on my face....people around me are probably wondering what I'm up too! (other than 5 feet tall!)

Goodnight everyone! Been tired today so off sharpish tonight.

Have a great evening all.

From what I remember it went something like this....it went along w/ clapping (I can show you when we meet in May )

Miss Mary Mack (Mack, Mack)
All dressed in black (black, black)
with all these buttons (buttons, buttons)
all down her back (back, back)

I think there is more....but I'll have to ask my sister what the rest was!

I'M BACK......YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!


Here's how it goes:

Miss Mary Mack - Mack Mack
All dressed in Black - Black Black
With silver Buttons - Buttons Buttons
All down her Back - Back Back

She jumped so High - High High
She reached the Sky - Sky Sky
And she didn't come Back - Back Back
Til the 4th of July - Lie Lie

I LOVED playing that "game" when I was in elementary school.

I do appreciate your input, just like everybody else's. Thank you! It's just difficult because if it were just me, I'd definitely be asking the doc to do other things, but his dad and I have to agree on all medical stuff (that darned joint legal custody) and if I take the initiative to do stuff on my own, he makes life absolutely miserable, and then Tyler sees that stress too. Right now he currently puts all the blame on another child at day care (which I think is baloney because kids have to be responsible for their own behaviors). BUT if he keeps having the same problems in kindergarten, that will prove to his dad that it's not the fault of the other boy and maybe he'll finally listen to me.

Deb, are you home?!

Hopefully kindergarden will hurry! And maybe your problems will be behind you!

It was a LOOOOOONG Day getting out of there, but soooooooooooo worth it coz now I'm back here!!!!!!

I just caught up reading all your posts and I'm going back to reread and post back coz I can't remember each one, there were so many....

For right now, Goodnight Marilyn, see ya in the morning! Sweet Mickey Dreams!

Holly, it's the place not the person....something is provoking Tyler at that day care. It could be something in a toy that he plays with that he gets a reaction to....i.e., lead in paint....kind of thing. BUT it is definitely Some Thing, it's not Tyler. Don't send him back if possible for the last three days....you'll probably find out that he has a condition or is allergic to something....In the meantime, you still have to be the mom and stick to your guns and make him realize there are consequences no matter what. His behavior is not acceptable.

I remember when Tom and Kris DGSs were 2 and 3 years old, Sandi DD was going to school nights and me and John were on "night" care for the kids everynight. I would punish Tom in the corner on time out, he would say what he did wrong and sorry then kiss and hug and it was over. I would punish Kris in the corner on time out, he would not say what he did wrong and sorry, so he got to stay there longer. This went on continuously for long periods of time. When Kris got older, he was diagnosed with ADHD. It's under control now, but when he was just 2, we didn't know. I felt guilty for all the extra punishment time....but he still needed to know his behavior was not acceptable.

You will figure it out and then it'll be easier for both of you. Good Luck, Hugs and Pixie Dust!

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Deb - I am sure that it is going to be hard on both of you keeping her away. I hope you start healing quickly!

Hi V....by now you're at Mickey's World and I'm not! It's ok, I'm out of the hospital and....as Karen says....I'll live vivasiously through you this week! Can't wait for the pics and stories on Sunday.

Now about that dog....she is temporarily living at DD Sandi's house with the rest of that group....so she's very happy to be part of the pack and she won't be home to jump on me....we both get a little vacation until I'm fully healed.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

No tiskets and taskets here!!

What about playing elementary school games like:

Duck Duck Goose
Ring Around the Rosie
Musical Chairs
Red Light Green Light
Simon Says

.....a few more favorites to add to the list....anyone remember these???

 

[EllaEnchanted]

I never heard of Miss Mary Mac either. Also never heard the canary one. Sounds like I am glad my name is not Mary.

Jan

Miss Mary Mac
Traditional
Miss Mary Mac, Mac, Mac
All dressed in black, black, black.
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons
All down her back, back, back.
She asked her mother, mother, mother
For 50 cents, cents, cents.
To see the elephants, elephants, elephants
Jump over the fence, fence, fence.
They jumped so high, high, high
They reached the sky, sky, sky
They never came back, back, back
Till the 4th of July, July, July.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Deb I am sooooo glad to hear that you are showing signs of improvement. My surgery will hopefully not entail an overnight stay but you never know. Can't wait til you are better again as we miss your terrific posts!!

Hoorary for you that you get out of that stinkin' hospital!!

Oh Noel, it's your turn now isn't it....I'm elated to be home and yet apprehensive for you because I know how bad it is. It's NEVER easy doing any medical procedure. I feel for you, having just gotten out of there. Just know that you have all of us here who care about you and wish you a quick and easy process. Be Brave, Be Strong and think of being on Mickey's ship with us doing fun things, drinking Belini's and know that you have lots of hugs coming your way! I'll be thinking of you everyday until you get back on these boards and let us know that you're ok. Everytime they do something to you that you don't like, don't think about it, just close your eyes and put yourself in a happy place with lots and lots of good friends who really care and are giving you lots of love and hugs! It works, coz that's what I did! Looking forward to hearing that it's over and that you're on the road to a quick recovery!

THAT'S IT!!!! Thanks Deb!

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Deb - where are you staying for Tgiving? With friends/family?

I'm staying at a Hotel on the Manatee River, but I'm going down to see some of my favorite family....my aunt that I spent many summers with as a child, my favorite cousin and his son, who is mine and John's Godson. I've always been close to all of these people and I wanted to be with them on Thanksgiving, so I wouldn't miss being with my mom as much. My Aunt Jesse is retired, my cousin Doug is an X-ray tech at one of the local hospitals and his son Kyle is still in elementary school. I'm really looking forward to spending time with them, we always laugh and enjoy each other's company. Aunt Jesse wanted us to stay at her house, but DH John is a hotel man. He's uncomfortable staying over at other people's homes. Personally, I'm a gypsy and it wouldn't bother me where we slept, but John prefers his own space. We'll probably be checking into our hotel on Turkey Day at the same time that my cousin goes into work, but he's getting that Friday and Saturday off to hang out with us. So, I'll be available Turkey Day to do our miniDISmeet....maybe drinks at out hotel or pick a place on Anna Maria Island that we could meet for a bit. Then we'll head to Orlando on Sunday and be available to miniDISmeet Karen and family. Somewhere in there we would love to meet Heather and Monica too.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

How DO you remember all that?!?!? You are amazing.
Do you want to fill us in on what they did and how it looks? If you don't want to do it on the thread but would like to unload it, you could send me a PM or e-mail. I listen well to medical details.

Jan, literally, this is what I did everytime they worked their medical stuff on me.....I closed my eyes, I put a blanket over my head, I started reciting all my favorite Mickey things and I thought of hugging all of you with DODs and Champagne! That is the full extent of my knowledge of what they did to me. And when they unwrap and rewrap the legs....I NEVER look! Sorry, I don't do well with anything medical.

GLAD YOU ARE ON THE DIS AGAIN
Jan

Thanks, it's great to be back!

 

[Jhalkias]

Our website is down again and DH has been up all night trying to fix it.

I am trying to get some work done at home as I am stuck here with out keys to his car; he took mine to the shop.

Keep your fingers crossed for us. This has been a really tough 2 weeks!

Karen

It must be so frustrating Karen . . . I tried to connect to your site (I have it bookmarked) and it appears it is still not up. I hope he solves it soon!

 

[pjpoohbear]

Could be a nursery rhyme meet on the ship!! Can you just see everyone doing these actions to all the rhymes. I will pass by and watch you all!

On the big screen, lol. Which ladies are going to lead the class?

Holly, Big Hugs!

Karen, IT issues suck, we are heading into Campus rush at the store and our new POS system (25 registers), which is tied into our inventory server shut down twice today and we are only at about 30% capacity. I am scared for when we are in full rush in 10 days.

Deb, keep strong and get lots of Rest.

Noel, best wishes on your medical adventure.
