#1...make Natalia do more herself. We have been bad about this. Let's face it, she can put on her own chapstick, she can do more to get dressed and undressed, etc... We do too much for her and it is not doing her any good. We need to back off, buck up and make her try.
#2...carve out more Sophia time. While she does not like to be apart from her sister for long, Pia needs more one on one attention. She needs her own I'm special time too. We have been trying to do this it just gets very hard when Talia isn't doing well.
#3...find another stress reliever besides food. Yes, my butt is getting big. If any one has ideas (yes I know exercise going to try to get that in too) please let me know in the comments.
#4...get out of the house more with Natalia. She needs to have more contact with the outside world. We have been keeping close to home because A)she didn't want to move much and gets tired easily B) we didn't want her around people during cold season and last but not least C)it's hard for just one parent to move a 80lb child that fears getting in and out of the car. Edgar and I have different days off. This mostly works in our favor because we only need someone to stay a few hours with Natalia on Mondays and Fridays...sorry it is now 2009 and the matrix has changed...Thursdays and Fridays. ANY...and I do mean ANY ideas on fun things to do in the Fresno area please let us know in the comments.
I think these are reasonable and achievable goals.
Happy New Year Everyone! Much love to you all,
Roni
