No Sleeping In

So as it turns out. The kids didn't sleep in. They woke up at 6:45am and Mary dozed off and on (in our bed) for another half hour and Ronin was awake. Mary also came to our bed in the  middle of the night. And Roro woke up at like 11pm for more formula. Maybe tonight?

SeaWorld Fun!

We had fun at sea world!  It was great! I had never been there before and grandma treated the whole family because she wanted to take Mary somewhere fun for summer. Mary and Ro had a great time. There are Lots of animals and shows. We got lots of food and fun! We also got 2 year passes for everyone cause they were having a special. So we can go til mid 2012 for free!

We of course saw Shamu and she got a puppy stuffed animal named Puppy. Mary got to touch a sting ray and they had some kiddie rides she went on too. Mary fell asleep before we got to the car and not even the fireworks woke her up. :). Ronin liked the fireworks. He had a couple of short naps so he outlasted Mary in the end. He's asleep now though. Let's hope the sleep til late morning. But I'm not betting on it. :)

I recommend going!

Mary's Assessment

So we had Mary assessed last Thursday. And what for you ask. For some time I've seen that Mary is speech delayed and mom's instinct told me that there were other developmental delays too. We had a developmental assessment done by a child psychologist and Mary was diagnosed with PDD-NOS, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (Not Otherwise Specified.)

The therapist recommended 5 days a week of in home cognitive therapy at an hour a day. And of course speech therapy, eating therapy, and occupational therapy to go along with it. And I need to go to the school district and get them started assessing her because when she turns 3 she can go to a special preschool and the school districts sort of take over the therapy. But one step at a time and it's all a little overwhelming. We'll figure it out.
